Domaine de La Pinte 'A la Capitaine' 2022 Jura, France

Grape 🍇: Pinot Noir and Poulsard

Style 😋: Light bodied with low tannins and intense acidity. Strawberry, red currant, and earth. Bright red fruity flavors, minerality and a clean finish.

Details 📌: The Pinot Noir and Poulsard are grown together and co fermented on a single plot named 'La Capitaine' on the blue marls of Pupillin. The grapes are hand harvested and undergo spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts. The wine is aged on its fine lees, with racking and bottling done by gravity according to the lunar calendar.

Story 📖: Domaine de La Pinte is a pillar of the Arbois appellation, established by Roger Martin on the historic slopes of 'La Pinte à la Capitaine.' Now led by his son, Pierre, the estate is renowned for its deep commitment to biodynamic farming across all 34 hectares, crafting benchmark expressions of Savagnin and the region's unique red varieties. Their philosophy is one of profound respect for the soil, utilizing shallow plowing and lunar cycles to produce wines of singular terroir expression.
