Novice

Yves Roy founded the Novice estate with his wife Christelle in 2014 when they bought 5 hectares of vines in Poligny . Recently retrained as a winemaker, Yves completed his training with Valentin Morel . Settled on his native land, he decided to work as naturally and simply as possible, he works his vines mechanically in accordance with the principles of organic farming and those of biodynamics , without synthetic products. The idea is to set up work in the vines that allows each plot to stand out naturally, by highlighting its terroir. The harvests are done manually and the work in the cellar is done just as naturally as that of the vine. During spontaneous fermentations , the golden rule is that nothing is touched. No sulfites in the wines, no filtration and only natural yeasts . Then the aging is done over 1 year , in vats, in barrels , and we finish with a little rest in the bottle while the wines settle in. The wines of the Novice estate are little bombs of fruit and complexity that are the direct expression of the Jura grape varieties and terroirs.
