There is a running joke in it: growers in Pupillin have always called that soil blue marl, and geologists insist there is no such thing and that it is simply another grey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bottle carries \u003cstrong\u003eyellow wax\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is how the domaine marks its Savagnin. Red wax is Ploussard, white wax is Chardonnay, and the vintage is on the shield at the neck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy a 2014 is only now being talked about\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause this cellar keeps its whites longer than almost anyone in the Jura. Emmanuel is direct about it: in white they do long élevage, on the Savagnin very, very long, and then a long time again in bottle. A Savagnin Ouillé from 2006 spent eight years in barrel. There are no fixed rules here and no schedule, Manu decides by tasting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe is also honest about what that costs. Keeping wine that long means losing lots of wine to topping up the barrels after evaporation, so the small production gets smaller still before a single bottle is sold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow it is made\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo sulphur goes in, and neither does anything else, as has been true here since 1986. The estate runs to six and a half hectares, two of them Savagnin, and makes 20,000 to 25,000 bottles in a normal year across the whole range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe tried this wine at a restaurant in Jura and loved its finesse, structure and energy. It was such a glorious moment we did not take any tasting notes but yes, it is awesome!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe full story of the domaine, and both of our films with Pierre and Manu, are on the \u003ca href=\"\/en-ch\/collections\/pierre-overnoy\"\u003eEmmanuel Houillon Overnoy collection page\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MORE Natural Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":66035808174348,"sku":"MORE-5756-SKU","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0221\/6407\/8692\/files\/maison-pierre-overnoy-houillon-savagnin-2014-arbois-pupillin.png?v=1792691025","url":"https:\/\/morenaturalwine.com\/en-ch\/products\/maison-pierre-overnoy-savagnin-2014","provider":"MORE Natural Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
