Arbois Pupillin Ploussard 2023 is a natural wine crafted by Emmanuel Houillon-Overnoy at Maison Pierre Overnoy, in the village of Pupillin in the Jura region of France. This red wine is made with Ploussard grapes, the pale, perfumed Jura red that Pupillin calls its own.

About Ploussard 2023 by Maison Pierre Overnoy

Ploussard is the same grape the rest of France spells Poulsard, and Pupillin has called itself its world capital for a long time. At this domaine it grows on grey marl and blue marl, the two soils Pierre Overnoy picks out when he walks the vines. It gives a red so pale it can look like a dark rosé in the glass, and it carries perfume rather than weight.

You can tell this bottle apart from the others without reading a word of the label. The domaine codes its wines by wax: red wax is Ploussard, yellow is Savagnin, white is Chardonnay. The vintage sits on the small shield at the neck.

How it is made

No sulphur goes in, and neither does anything else. Pierre split the 1985 vintage, part with a little sulphur and part without, and from 1986 the wines here have been made with none at all. Emmanuel Houillon-Overnoy has run the domaine since 2001 and has kept it that way.

The whole estate is six and a half hectares, with two hectares of Ploussard in it, and a normal year gives 20,000 to 25,000 bottles across every wine. Frost took 2017, 2019 and 2021, and 2021 gave six hectolitres per hectare, close to nothing. There is very little of this wine anywhere in the world.

We have not tried this vintage. We would rather tell you that than invent a tasting note for a bottle we are giving away.

We ship every Wednesday. Order by Tuesday 10am.

MAISON PIERRE OVERNOY (HOUILLON-OVERNOY)

Six and a half hectares at Pupillin, a village of 248 people above Arbois. Pierre Overnoy took the estate on in 1968 and handed it to Emmanuel Houillon-Overnoy, his adoptive son, in 2001. One parcel, the vigne des filleuls, was planted by Pierre's brothers in 1949. Two hectares each of Ploussard, Savagnin and Chardonnay, plus 30 ares of Trousseau put in during 2013, sitting on the grey, blue and red marls that the growers here name by colour and the geologists refuse to.

No sulphur has gone into these wines since 1986. The whites get a very long elevage, four years in foudre for one Chardonnay, eight years in barrel for a Savagnin, and then longer again in bottle, which costs the cellar real volume to evaporation. A normal year gives 20,000 to 25,000 bottles for the entire world, and frost in 2017, 2019 and 2021 cut that hard. The label never names the grape, so read the wax: red is Ploussard, yellow Savagnin, white Chardonnay.

I never had a problem with one of their orders, the packaging was always perfect and they always added something as a surprise that was always welcoming (I'm still using the wine cloth).
