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

Nestled amidst the breathtaking terroirs of Arbois and Pupillin, our Estate sprawls across 34 hectares of vineyards, graced by the distinctive blue marls of the lias. Perched at an altitude of 400 meters, our vines thrive in this unique microclimate. Within our holdings, we cultivate a diverse array of varietals, including 17 hectares of Savagnin, 6 hectares of Chardonnay, 7 hectares of Poulsard, and 4 hectares each of Trousseau and Pinot Noir. As stewards of the land, we oversee every facet of winemaking, from nurturing the vines to crafting the final bottled expression. Since 1999, we've embraced organic viticulture, and in 2009, we embarked on a journey towards biodynamic practices. Our commitment to sustainability is unwavering, reflecting our deep reverence for the land.
