This rare bottling from Jean-Michel Petit comes from a small parcel of 30-year-old Melon à Queue Rouge vines grown on marl soils in Pupillin. Farmed organically and vinified with native yeasts, the wine undergoes direct pressing and cold fermentation in stainless steel, then finishes fermentation in bottle as a pét-nat. It is not disgorged and contains zero added sulfur.

Smooth pear, toasted hazelnut, and a kiss of minerality.

About Domaine de la Renardiere

In the village of Pupillin, within Arbois-Pupillin in the Jura, Domaine de la Renardière has become one of the quiet benchmarks of the region.

Founded in 1990 by Jean-Michel and Laurence Petit, and now joined by their son Léo, the estate farms 7.5 hectares of limestone rich vineyards long considered some of the best sites in Jura for Trousseau and Ploussard. Organic practices have been in place since 2003, with certification achieved in 2012.

Work is parcel focused and minimal in the cellar. Fermentations rely on native yeasts, sulfur use is limited or absent, and wines are handled gently to preserve purity. The range is evenly split between reds and whites, from lifted, earthy Trousseau and Ploussard to textured Chardonnay and traditional Vin Jaune.
