2020 l'Octavin Hip Hip J... Poulsard

WINEMAKER: Alice Bouvot
REGION: Jura, FR
VARIETAL: Poulsard
VITICULTURE: Organic/Biodynamic

"The grapes for Alice's Hip, Hip J range of wines are from a local organic grower in Pupillin she has been working with for several years now. This is a very beautiful expression of this delicate variety from a good vintage. Carbonic maceration with whole clusters for one week. First she took off the juice and then, blended it after pressing. The wne is quite limpid and only 10.5% ABV, a level of alcohol that suits the light extraction." - Living Wines (Please note that this is different from the 2020 Hip Hip J Plousard (with the same front label) we were selling in 2022, which was directly pressed and a white wine.) 

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.
