2007 Maison Pierre Overnoy “Arbois Pupillin”

100 % Ploussard sur marnes grise
Biodynamic stuff
Decanted 2 hours
Glass: Zalto Burgundy

It’s been about three weeks since I tasted this wine, so forgive me if I can’t give you all the details, as my TN is all from memory.

It’s still new territory for me to taste such a wine and I don’t have a lot of reference points when it comes to the wines from Jura – in fact only one. It’s a very fragile wine, ballerina light and filled with interesting flavors. However it’s a little more reserved than the "Ploussard de Monteiller" from Domaine de la Tournelle - simply broader defined in complexity. The red fruit is not so cheerful and easy presented, but pitched deeper and with companionship of rubber and sweet liquorice scents. It’s also a very soil dominated wine, where the minerals is a thin layer of dust giving a silky clean and authentic feeling on both nose and palate. On the palate it continues on the same path and it’s delightful fragile character is adding to the drinking pleasure.

Loved it.

Kæmpestor vin!!! Dekanterede du den? Det er rigtigt, den på sin vis fremstår skrøbelig - men den er faktisk det modsatte. Usandsynlig robust, og man bliver forundret over, hvor meget mad den kan klare. Eeeelsker den vin.

Hej Mia,

Dekanteret i 2 timer.

Kan godt følge dig med, at den trods skrøbeligheden er rustik.

Ja, super dejlig vin.

Nejnej, ikke RUSTIK, men ROBUST. Dårligt ord måske. Men rustik, nej, den er alt for elegant og feminin til at kunne kaldes rustik.
