A Jura Experience
Said to be the namesake for the term Jurassic, this small region stretched along the border of Switzerland has truly built a name for itself despite the adversities nature has thrown at it. Jura is a small but hearty region of winemaking, responsible for a collection of both traditional and unique wines we love today.
Fabrice Dodane (Saint-Pierre) - Arbois white Chardonnay 2023
With the low yields of the vintage, Fabrice Dodane has purchased a selection of Chardonnay grapes this vintage to supplement his own Arbois vines. The result is the negoce labelled Chardonnay that has incredible mineral drive. It’s fairly fleshy but there’s so much acid it just cuts it in half. A beauty from one of the region's very best. Chardonnay.
Fabrice Dodane (Saint-Pierre) - Cotes du Jura Trousseau 2023
Due to the difficult year in terms of harvest with small yet excellent quality of grapes, Fabrice decided to get source additional Trousseau grapes from his friends in Arbois to supplement his own and produce more bottles of his Trousseau; therefore in 2023 this wine is labelled under his negoce range. This Trousseau develops steadily, the tannin remains extremely delicate, but a light spice and delicate berry fruit gives it more and more length, mint and cherry, almond and lemon zest. Trousseau.
Fabrice Dodane (Saint-Pierre) - VDF Tout Facile 2024
Very light fire red, on the nose a cocktail of raspberries, red currants and wild strawberries, nuances of blackberry leaves and pine cones, literally smells of acidity and minerality. On the palate an airy texture, wiry body supported by a strong acidity, harmoniously supported by tannin, red berries again, subtle flint, the extremely juicy drinking flow ensures great potential for fun. Syrah, Grenache, Trousseau.
Saint-Pierre - Arbois white "Autrement" 2020
A deeply mineral, textured Savagnin with notes of preserved lemon, green almond, hay and sea salt, all balanced by a taut, saline finish. A precise and contemplative Jura wine - vivid, savoury and alive. 100% Savagnin.
Saint-Pierre - Arbois white "Les Dalles" 2022
Freshly opened the most expressive wine of the current series, ripe fruit, lots of spice and fragrant aromas, papaya and banana, woodruff and mint, curry and cumin, each time smelling a new nuance, intense and complex. On the palate with a lot of pressure, plus a fine tannin, green characterizes the aroma, again woodruff and some sage, then there is also some charm and a certain enamel, clear and close-knit to the end. 100% Melon de Jura.
Saint-Pierre - Cote du Jura "Gaudrettes" 2022
The Cotes du Jura Rouge Les Gaudrettes by Domaine de Saint Pierre is a red wine that offers fruity and floral notes on the nose, while on the palate it is clean, intriguing, sharp with elegance and precision. Pinot Noir.
