2018 l'Octavin Ivre de Vivre

Alice Bouvot started from scratch in 2004, buying a small cellar in the village of Arbois and a couple of hectares of vines in the hills surrounding. She now farms around five hectares biodynamically and harvests grapes from trusted friends all over France. A highly sought-after cult producer. 100% viognier sourced from Jean-François Debourg in the Bully region, northwest of Lyon. Direct pressed and fermented in fibreglass tank. Fresh and mineral with a liveliness not always associated with this much-maligned grape. Zero adds.
