Tasting Notes
I'm extemely impressed with this Trousseau, and myself for that matter! I opened this wine 3 days ago and it has gone from strength to strength. Upon opening it was red fruited, fragrant and bright. Now, after 3 days, it has built intensity and depth as well as a mineral presence. Beautiful drinking.
Fabrice Dodane is the man behind Domaine de Saint Pierre in the Jura. The grapes for this particular wine have been sourced from non-domaine vineyards so it carries a different name. - 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
