Arbois Pupillin Poulsard “Plous’saperlipopette” 2023 – Domaine de la Borde
The Arbois Pupillin Poulsard “Plous’saperlipopette” 2023 is a natural wine that exemplifies the finesse of Jura reds. Produced by Julien Mareschal in Pupillin, a historic heartland for great Ploussard wines, it comes from 100% Poulsard grapes cultivated on grey clay-limestone marl soils, farmed biodynamically with low yields. Hand-harvested, the grapes are 80% destemmed and 20% whole-cluster, preserving the fruit’s integrity and freshness.
Winemaking follows natural principles: no added sulfites, spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts, and gentle skin contact to extract color and structure while maintaining elegance. The wine shows a light ruby hue, with aromas of fresh red berries, subtle spices, and a hint of smokiness characteristic of Jura.
On the palate, “Plous’saperlipopette” is delicate, balanced, and vibrant, with soft tannins and lively acidity. It is refreshing, easy to drink, and immediately enjoyable. Perfect on its own or paired with regional dishes, white meats, fresh cheeses, or light charcuterie. With this Ploussard, Julien Mareschal showcases his ability to craft natural, pure, and authentic wines that fully express the unique terroir of Pupillin.
