Domaine de Saint Pierre

The man behind Domaine de Saint Pierre is Fabrice Dodane, who studied enology in Beaune before working several years at the cooperative in Pupillin. He started working at Domaine de Saint Pierre in 1989 as a manager and took full control in 2011. The estate covers approximately 6 hectares in the Arbois and Côtes du Jura AOCs with the vines planted in limestone and marl soils. Saint  Pierre achieved organic certification in 2012, having begun conversion in 2002.

All wines are fermented with native yeasts either in tank or neutral barriques; vinifications for the reds are done without the addition of sulfur. The whites are made using both the traditional 'sous voile' method as well as topped-up, or ouillé style. These are wines of great purity, displaying beautifully balanced expressions of their terroir.
