Pierre Overnoy is a Jura legend. Vineyard in Pupillin in Jura, started in 1968. Retired in 2001, age 63. Became interested in baking bread
Overnoy went to oenology school, but found his wines to be dull. Later learned from Chauvet. Pierre Overnoy is undoubtedly a living god of the living viticulture… Coming to Pupillin to meet him is like a pilgrimage for any "natural wine lover"
Emmanuel Houillon from Franche-Comté worked with Overnoy starting age 14 as apprentice ~1990. Took over Overnoy’s domain when Overnoy retired
2.4 Poulsard, 2.2 Chardonnay, 2 Savagnin
Poulsard: relatively large / low skin to juice ratio. Light colored. Can have good structure when well made. Fruit veers towards pomegranate, red currant, cranberry, and blood orange. Sometimes a salty, chalky bass note.
