Tasting Notes
Fabrice Dodane’s Arbois Chardonnay is a masterful expression of the Jura’s historic Arbois terroir, specifically sourced from old, biodynamically farmed vines rooted in grey marl and limestone soils. Crafted in the ouillé (topped-up) style, it eschews the region's traditional oxidative nutty notes in favour of crystalline purity and a laser-like focus. The nose opens with an inviting mix of white peach, lemon curd, and crushed stones, leading to a palate that is both textural and high-toned, defined by a vibrant, "electric" acidity and a persistent saline minerality. - 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
