Description
WINEMAKER: Alice Bouvot
REGION: Jura, FR
VARIETY: Poulsard, Chardonnay, Savagnin
VITICULTURE: Organic/Biodynamic
"The wine is a blend of Poulsard, Chardonnay and Savagnin all harvested from Alice’s vines in the renowned La Mailloche vineyard on the outskirts of Arbois. While she occasionally makes a blends of grapes from different places for a négoce wine she only ever blends estate wines if they are from the same vineyard. From a vintage that was devastated by frost, the fruit that survived was of excellent quality. The grapes had 2 months of maceration (whole clusters) before pressing. It was bottled in June 2020 . It is a very light reddish colour, almost looking like a macerated white wine." - Living Wines
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.

Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
