Arbois, Ploussard Trousseau 2018 - Houillon Bruyère
Jura, Arbois, Trousseau, Ploussard, vintage 2018, Adeline Houillon et Renaud Bruyère
- Presentation of the winery
Adeline Houillon joined with her family in the Overnoy estate, taken over by her brother Emmanuel Houillon when Pierre Overnoy retired, while Renaud Bruyère worked with Stéphane Tissot. They together created their domain in 2011, from 75 ares of vines located in Arbois. The area has since reached 5 hectares, on which indigenous grape varieties - Savagnin, trousseau, Chardonnay - are grown in biodynamics (without certification). The wines are therefore natural, from the vine to the bottling, their objective being to find the right balance between the terroir, the grape variety and the vintage.

Full organic Jura wine makers
Adeline Houillon and Renaud Bruyère moved to the little village of Pupillin (next to Arbois, in the Jura region) in 2011. Together, they started cultivating their now 5 hectares vineyard, following biodynamics principles. Although they have never tried to obtain the official Demeter certification, Adeline and Renaud still have adopted this philosophy for their estate. Here, the harvest is entirely done by hand, nothing gets added during the winemaking process, there's no filtration, no fining…
Adeline trained at the Domaine Pierre Overnoy, now managed by her brother Emmanuel since 2001. As for Renaud, he used to work for the Domaine Tissot. An impressive pedigree for such a young couple of winemakers, and their respect for the terroir (resulting in extremely high-quality wines) is recommendable as well. This all might explain why the bottles from the estate are sought-after by a lot of connoisseurs.
