Description
Chardonnay Vin Mousseux ‘La Bulettte’ Domaine des Cavarodes, Etienne Thiebaud, Arbois NV
Domaine des Cavarodes – Etienne Thiebaud
Etienne Thiebaud commenced making his own wine at Domaine des Cavarodes in the village of Cramans in the northern part of the Jura in 2007. He makes wines of amazing purity which reflect the terroir from which they come on either side of the Loue River and across to Arbois.
He only has 4.5 hectares of vines (ranging in age from 15 to 115 years old) which he farms organically but produces many cuvees from these small holdings. The wines are made as naturally as possible with the reds undergoing semi-carbonic maceration following careful de-stemming and maturation in old barrels.
Fermented in large, old foudre, and topped up during maturation. It’s zingy and racy, with this pulsating energy that leaves bottles empty extremely quickly
