This wine is a journey. The nose is wild, almost grappa-like, throwing out a fiery mix of sharp, heady aromas that might transport you back to questionable high school parties with equally questionable life choices. But don’t let that scare you off. Because then, the palate takes a hard left turn into pure nostalgia. Think Christmas panettone: rich, speckled with raisins, bright citrus peel, allspice, and almonds. It’s warm, layered, and utterly distinctive, showing the hand of a Jura master who knows how to balance the bizarre with the beautiful.

This is a full bodied natural fortified wine.

About Domaine de la Renardière

The village of Pupillin plays host to Domaine de la Renardière, where Jean-Michel Petit quietly crafts some of Jura’s finest wines. Since establishing the domaine in 1990, Jean-Michel has built his 7.5 hectares into a haven for both red and white varietals, with a lineup of equal parts red (Pinot Noir, Poulsard, Trousseau) and white (mostly Chardonnay with a bit of Savagnin). Jean-Michel has been farming organically since 2003, earning full certification in 2012 - an important commitment to the vineyard. In the cellar, he keeps things rooted in tradition: native yeasts kickstart fermentation and sulfur is only used sparingly when needed, and élevage takes place in a mix of foudres for reds and a blend of older barriques and foudres for whites. The result? Wines that are vibrant, soulful, and unmistakably Jura.
