Pierre Overnoy Arbois Pupillin Blanc 2016 AOC 0,75l

Pierre Overnoy Arbois Papullin Blanc 2016 AOC 0.75l is a bottle that invites you on a sensory journey through Jura, the Arbois area where Papullin refers to a microzone of Pupillin, home to limestone soils and cool exposures, and where harvesting is approached with long timings and close attention to detail. The Pierre Overnoy winery is one of the pillars of the natural wine scene, born from Pierre’s vision as a pioneer of biodynamics applied to the vineyard and spontaneous fermentation. He viewed vineyard work as a practice of observation and respect, allowing the wine the freedom to express itself without excessive intervention. Today, this winery identity remains alive, guided by a philosophy of minimal intervention and meticulous care of the vines; the wines are made from hand-picked grapes, limited yields and careful ageing in used wooden barrels, which lend complexity without masking the character of the terroir. Papullin Blanc stands out for its personality, which does not conform to the category’s clichés: a white wine that surprises with its luminous purity, while revealing a depth of texture and a savouriness that seem to come from the stone itself. The colour is bright but understated, with pale golden reflections and a mineral tension that accompanies every sip; the nose reveals notes of matured citrus, mandarin peel, a hazelnut texture and a hint of toasted butter, joined by a certain austerity of flint and weathered stone, a hallmark of controlled oxidation that instead enhances its lively palate. On the palate, its fluidity is supported by vibrant freshness and a slight pungency that leads towards a dry, long and clean finish, where the saline memory lingers. Within the Pierre Overnoy range, Papullin Blanc represents one of the most authentic interpretations of the Pupillin terroir: an invitation to taste that rewards patience, thoughtful pairings and curiosity fuelled by respect for the raw material.
