2019 l'Octavin Zerlina (1500ml)
WINEMAKER: Alice Bouvot
REGION: Jura, FR
VARIETAL: Pinot Noir, Trousseau
VITICULTURE: Organic/Biodynamic
The grapes for this wine are from Alice’s vines in the “En Curon” vineyard where the soils are comprised of grey marl and limestone. The Pinot Noir and Trousseau were destemmed then macerated for 2 months and the juice was then transferred to tank for 10 months prior to bottling in May 2020 a full nine months after the harvest.
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.
