The wine region of Arbois Pupillin
Sub-appellation of Arbois around the commune of Pupillin (Jura): five grapes — Chardonnay, Savagnin (the most expressive in the Jura), Pinot Noir, Poulsard and Trousseau. Full-bodied and fruity Chardonnay or Chardonnay-Savagnin blend (10-20%) whites, sometimes vin jaune character under the veil. Ageable Trousseau reds with red fruits and spices. Signature "onion skin" Poulsard roses, delicate and pale.
The wine region of Jura
Unique Franche-Comté region between Burgundy and Switzerland, incomparable oxidative identity. Signature mythical Vin Jaune from Savagnin: aged 6 years 3 months in cask under flor, intense whites with signature green walnut, curry, cumin, russet apple, honey and lingering iodine — 62 cl clavelin, century-long ageing. Also classic topped-up Chardonnay (citrus, butter), pale light Poulsard red (strawberry, undergrowth), dense Trousseau, fine Pinot Noir. Sweet Vin de Paille.
The word of the wine: Vinification of sweet wines
Moelleux and liquoreux wines are characterized by the presence of residual sugars (natural sugar of the grape), not transformed into alcohol under the effect of yeasts. The fermentation is stopped by cold and by the addition of sulphur dioxide (sulphur).
