Pierre Overnoy Arbois Papullin Blanc 2016 AOC 0.75l

Pierre Overnoy Arbois Papullin Blanc 2016 AOC 0.75l is a bottle that invites a sensory journey to the Jura, the Arbois terroir where Papullin identifies a microzone of Pupillin, guardian of calcareous soils and cool exposures, and where the harvest is approached with a long time and attention to detail. The Pierre Overnoy winery is a cornerstone of the natural wine scene, born from the vision of Pierre, a pioneer of biodynamics applied to the vineyard and spontaneous fermentation, who interpreted work in the vineyard as a practice of observation and respect, allowing the wine to express itself freely without excessive intervention. Today, this company identity remains alive, guided by a philosophy of minimal intervention and meticulous care of the vineyards; the wines are made from hand-harvested grapes, low yields, and careful aging in used wooden barrels, which impart complexity without masking the character of the terroir. Papullin Blanc stands out for its personality, which defies the clichés of the category: a white wine that surprises with its luminous cleanliness, yet simultaneously reveals a depth of texture and a savory character that seems to come from the stone itself. The color is luminous yet unobtrusive, with pale golden highlights and a mineral tension that accompanies every sip. The nose reveals notes of ripe citrus, mandarin zest, a texture of hazelnut, and a hint of toasted butter, complemented by a certain austerity of flint and aged stone, a trait of controlled oxidation that enhances the vivacity of the flavors. On the palate, the fluidity is supported by a lively freshness, a light pungency that leads to a dry, long, and clean finish, where the saline aftertaste lingers. Part of the Pierre Overnoy range, Papullin Blanc represents one of the most authentic interpretations of the Pupillin terroir: an invitation to tasting that rewards patience, thoughtful pairings, and a curiosity fueled by respect for the raw materials. STELT prioritizes authenticity, consistency, and longevity: this Papullin Blanc embodies the blend of tradition and contemporary vision that defines the brand's positioning.
