Jean-Michel Petit grew up in Pupillin where his parents and grandparents farmed the vines, selling their grapes to the local co-operative. After studying in Beaune and working with producers round the world, Jean-Michel created Domaine de la Renardière in 1990 with his wife Laurence. Trousseau comes from a very low yielding variety grown on clay-calcareous marl soils, the grapes are hand-harvested and then vinified in stainless steel for 10-20 days, then aged in large oval shaped foudres for about a year. Arbois Pupillin is renown as being one of Jura's top red wines and we can see why !
