Tasting Notes
The GG is downright dancing and animating, crystal clear and vibrant, no kitsch, pure juiciness and berry delight.
Fabrice Dodane took over Domaine de Saint Pierre in 2011 after Philippe Moyne, the celebrated founder of the Domaine, passed. As a strong supporter of organics and biodynamics, Fabrice brought it into organic certification in 2012. The Dos d'Chat range was started after a hail storm decimated his crop, and this is his third year releasing wines under this fantastic négociant label.
The finesse and delicacy is immediately noticeable, light fruity and delicate, with soft berry fruit and filigree spice, the GG is downright dancing and animating, crystal clear and vibrant, no kitsch, pure juiciness and berry delight. Light-footed and juicy on the palate, the acidity brings ingenious freshness, the tannin is subtle and light berry fruit also dominates on the palate. 100% Gamay. - Importer Note
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
