Jacques Puffeney
Jacques Puffeney, an emblematic figure of the yellow wines of Arbois, vinified his first vintage in 1962, at Montigny les Arsures, only 12 hectolitres were produced at that time. Poulsard, pinot noir, trousseau, chardonnay and savagnin make up the grape varieties of the 5 hectares of the estate today. Passion and rigour in his work have always accompanied this talented winemaker, who is able to magnify the Jura grape varieties and reveal his terroirs as few can. His dazzling yellow wine is one of the most sought-after by Savagnin lovers
The work carried out in the vineyard and in the cellar is very traditional and as natural as possible. In combination with the magnificent marl soils of Arbois and Montigny, Jacques Puffeney has been producing for about fifty years wines that are recognised by all Jura wine lovers, typical of the Jura grape varieties, precise, with a depth combined with a rare finesse, whether with his famous Trousseau or his magical whites. The Savagnins are notably aged in old tuns, for as long as it takes to meet the requirements of the master of yellow. The sailing wines here are exceptionally complex. The "touch" of the greats... Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end and the artist will soon have to bow out, the 2014 vintage being the last he has announced.
So enjoy these famous nectars of Jacques Puffeney which will perfectly accompany a poularde with morels for the famous yellow wine, an old comté magnifying the oxidative character of the savagnin and its typical aromas of walnut... These are some of the best food-wine combinations that exist. Know how to appreciate them and consume them, as they should be, in moderation.
