Tasting Notes
This is a serious, powerful and hedonistic Pinot Noir from Arbois in the Jura. It's concentrated dark fruit profile engages all the senses along with complexing savoury tones of mushroom, forest floor and seed spices. The palate is dense and brooding too. Power and structure here ensures a long life for this wine. I can't wait to try a bottle in 5 and 10 years. - 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
