Domaine de l'Octavin Betty Bulles
Country: France
Region: Jura
Grapes: Vermentino, Roussanne, Marsanne, Muscat
Vintage: 2024
Despite having trained in Bordeaux and Burgundy, Alice Bouvot knew that when it came to start her own domaine, the Jura would be the place. In 2004 she started from scratch, buying a small cellar in the village of Arbois and a couple of hectares of vines in the hills surrounding.
This vibrant pét nat is made from a direct press of Vermentino, Roussanne, Marsanne and Muscat, from grapes picked in both the Vaucluse and Roussillon. Having begun fermentation in vats, the wine was then moved to bottle, where it rested for just a few months before disgorgement. Perfumed with ripe yellow fruit and garrigue, the palate is all zest, salt and pith. A wine that offers rare refreshment, this makes for a wonderful apéritif.
