"Petit Curoulet" Poulsard Arbois, Domaine de St-Pierre, Fabrice Dodane, Côte du Jura 2024

Domaine de St-Pierre, Fabrice Dodane, Mathenay

After studying enology in Beaune and working several years at the cooperative in Pupillin, Fabrice Dodane started working at Domaine de Saint Pierre in 1989 as manager. Fabrice took full control of the estate in 2011 after the untimely death of the former owner. The winery is based in the small town of Matheny and covers approximately 6ha in the Arbois and Côtes du Jura AOCs with the vines planted in limestone and marl soils. Saint Pierre achieved organic certification in 2012, having started conversion in 2002. All wines are fermented with native yeasts either in tank or neutral barrel. Vinifications for the reds are done without the addition of sulfur, and the whites are done flawlessly in both the traditional sous voile method, as well as topped-up, or ouillé style

A delicate, light ruby color introduces aromas of wild strawberry, tart red currant, crushed rose petals, and damp earth. On the palate, focused notes of cranberry, pomegranate, and ground spice are backed by ultra-fine, barely-there tannins and a vibrant line of natural acidity. The mouthfeel is ethereal, light, and juicy, offering a crunchy fruit energy that glides effortlessly across the tongue. It ends on a crisp, mouthwatering finish with lingering hints of citrus zest and wet stone.
