INFORMATIONS ABOUT THE ESTATE

The Domaine Overnoy, located in Pupillin, south of Arbois, is one of the most renowned references in the Jura region. Founded in 1968 by Pierre Overnoy, this family estate has always prioritized natural viticulture. From the beginning, Pierre rejected synthetic chemicals and chose to work his vineyard in the most authentic way, in harmony with the terroir.

In 2001, the estate was passed on to Emmanuel Houillon, Pierre’s adoptive son, who now manages the estate with his wife Anne. Together, they cultivate 5.5 hectares of vines primarily planted with Chardonnay, Savagnin, and Poulsard, on the region's clay-limestone soils. The estate operates under organic and biodynamic principles, ensuring the purity and quality of the grapes.

The estate's wines are crafted using traditional and natural methods, without added sulfur, without filtration, and using indigenous yeasts. The wines are mainly aged in oak barrels, often under a veil, giving them complex aromas and exceptional depth.

Signature wines of the estate:

Arbois Pupillin Poulsard: A light and elegant red wine with aromas of red fruits and flowers.
Arbois Savagnin: A dry white wine with notes of nuts and dried fruits, typical of the grape.
Arbois Vin Jaune: A white wine aged under a veil, with aromas of nuts, curry, and dried fruits, requiring six years and three months of aging in oak barrels.
Arbois Vin de Paille: A sweet wine made from passiti grapes, offering aromas of honey, candied fruits, and hazelnuts.

The Domaine Overnoy thus embodies the excellence of the Jura vineyard, producing wines of great originality, with some, like Vin Jaune or Vin de Paille, becoming essential staples of the region.
