Domaine de la Renardière

The history of Domaine de la Renardière began in 1990 , when Jean-Michel and Laurence Petit wrote the first pages of this wine adventure, in the village of Pupillin . Composed of 7 hectares , Domaine de la Renardière extends over red marl terroirs , creating an exceptional environment for Ploussard , an emblematic grape variety of the region. The vines, around thirty years old, are pampered in accordance with organic farming , free of chemicals, and the harvest is meticulously carried out by hand. In the Domaine de la Renardière cellar, Jean-Michel and Laurence Petit, joined in recent years by their son Léo , accompany the wine with the minimum of intervention , using only a small dose of sulfite as the only input. The winemaking is plot-by-plot, as is the aging, an approach that consists of harvesting, vinifying and aging the grapes from a single isolated plot, without mixing with other grapes from other plots. This purist approach aims to reveal as faithfully as possible the identity of a specific terroir, without seeking to alter its authenticity. Today, it is Léo, the son of Jean-Michel and Laurence Petit, who is starting to take over the estate, very gently, after having created his own brewery in 2016, known as " La Jurassique ." He perpetuates the family tradition of Domaine de la Renardière , by producing balanced wines with powerful aromas, while adding his own personal touch. Thus, the estate is the scene of many experiments and innovations, at the intersection of tradition and modernity . Between tradition and renewal, Léo will continue to magnify this magnificent Jura appellation, bringing a contemporary vision while honoring the family heritage and the richness of the region's wine history.
