2020 Domaine de la Renardiere Cremant du Jura Brut, France

All Chardonnay that sees two years on the less prior to disgorgement.

After spending several years abroad making wine, Jean-Michel Petite returned to his small village of Pupillin to take over his family domaine in 1990. When Jean-Michel bought his vineyards, he always asked the previous owners what each vineyard expressed. None of them knew because everyone, even Jean-Michels parents, had always sold to the cooperative. Consequently, Jean-Michel decided to start from scratch, vinifying each parcel separately to discover how the gray marl provided a different expression of terroir from the red marl. His priorities are to respect the soil and produce quality wines. He has converted all his vineyards to lutte raisone or organic and now owns 6.5 hectares in the best area of the Arbois.
