Tasting Notes
A pleasure to drink, but take your time to enjoy this Chardonnay. There's always a bit of reduction on the Saint Pierre whites when they're young, so open them early and give them a delicate decant. Beautiful stone fruits are revealed among white florals and honey suckle. It's dense and packed full of flavour, backed up by some serious structure. Enjoy the aromas and the length of the palate. It's an experience, ever-evolving. It keeps you curious. - Chris L
Domaine de Saint Pierre is the epitome of a top flight Jura Domaine. Fully Owned since 2011 by the charismatic and pragmatic Fabrice Dodane, the tiny six hectares of vineyards are ideally located in the appellation Arbois in villages such as Vadans, Mathenay, Arbois and Pupillin. Far from being new to the wine scene, Fabrice Dodane studied oenology at the Beaune Wine University in Burgundy before taking the reins of the Cooperative of Pupillin. In 1989, Fabrice had the opportunity to manage Domaine de Saint-Pierre. From there, the three hectares have increased to six and the vineyards have been farmed organically since 2002 with biodynamic practices being implemented right after. The result is staggering with wines of great purity displaying with precision the magnificent terroirs of the Jura. - Importer Note
