Despite having trained in Bordeaux and Burgundy, Alice Bouvot knew that when it came to starting her own domaine, the Jura would be the place. In 2004 she started from scratch, buying a small cellar in the village of Arbois where she makes electrifying wines from negociant fruit as well as a couple of hectares of vines in Jura itself. 

Pinot Noir from a friend’s vineyards in Arbois. The grapes were harvested by Alice and fermented on the skins as a mix of whole bunches and destemmed grapes for a fortnight before being pressed to cuve until the following spring. Offering a trio of red berries, earth and funk, this is as lively a take on the grape as you will find.
