Savagnin from Pupillin is prized for its capacity to age, developing layers of complexity over 10+ years while retaining vibrant acidity. The 2020 vintage has the balance and structure to reward mid- to long-term cellaring, peaking as the fruit integrates with nuanced oxidative notes.

Food pairing

Comté cheese, chicken in morel cream sauce, white meats, salted nuts, shellfish, and alpine cuisine.

Sustainability

Sustainability score: 9/10

No synthetic pesticides or herbicides; organic vineyard management; hand-harvested; traditional gravity-fed winery; minimal intervention in winemaking; light packaging; local suppliers for bottling materials.

Domaine Overnoy-Crinquand is a benchmark of sustainability in the Jura: certified organic vineyards, highly traditional, low-impact viticulture and winemaking, eco-conscious packaging, and genuinely artisanal scale. While importing the wine overseas raises the carbon footprint, local consumption leaves a very small footprint. Their longstanding organic and semi-biodynamic ethos earns them a high sustainability score.
