A one-off cuvée born from the brutal 2021 vintage in the Jura, when severe hail around Arbois wiped out much of the region’s crop. At Tournelle, this meant piecing together fruit from different parcels to salvage what they could—a 60/40 blend of Chardonnay and Savagnin from biodynamically farmed vines.

The grapes were hand-harvested, directly pressed, and left to ferment and age for four years (!!) in neutral barrels, kept topped up ouillé to preserve freshness and purity. Bottled unfined, unfiltered, and with no added SO2. A rare bottle from a seriously tough vintage, and a pretty incredible example of making the most of what nature left behind.

Domaine de la Tournelle

Evelyne and Pascal Clairet created their domaine in 1991 and later opened a little bistro in their garden by the water in the center of the town of Arbois, open in the summer. Continuing after her husband’s passing away (2021), Evelyne works with 8 hectares of vines planted of mostly white grapes (the locally typical Savagnin and Chardonnay) and some reds (Trousseau and Ploussard).

Tournelle makes traditional wines in the traditions of Arbois, such as the Terre de Gryphées or Vin Jaune, while also exploring new paths, such as the use of carbonic maceration in the Uva Arbosiana red. Their methodology and passion are clearly invested in producing wines that represent the tradition and potential that this dynamic AOC possesses.
