A simple, sweet but profound face, that of Pierre Overnoy, from which the pure essence of his wines already shines through. His Maison stands in the heart of the Jura. Born into a family of winemakers, it becomes a point of reference in the world of natural wine in France. From the beginning, in 1961, when he took over the complete management of the cellar, he decided to go against the trend of the moment: chemical weeding, clonal selections, sulphites and various other possibilities. He immediately decided to produce his wines in an absolutely natural way to capture the typicality and purity of his vines which extend for 6 hectares; mainly planted with Chardonnay together with the native Poulsard (locally called Ploussard) and Savagnin. The vines reflect one of his qualities: depth. In fact, Pierre works on a high planting density, to bring the roots of the plants down to the depths, thus taking the nutrients into the depths of the soil. On the surface, however, he works manually, without chemistry, using only the so-called Bordeaux mixture against diseases. His wines, which are processed as little as possible in the cellar, reflect the beautiful minerality of the soil: spontaneous fermentations with indigenous yeasts, long refinements on the lees, no filtration or clarification. In short, a riot of naturalness that leads to a simple but intense drink, which reflects his personality. Since 2001 the Maison has been taken over by Emmanuel Houillon, Pierre's pupil, who continues the work, still supported today by his master, even if it is now Pierre himself who recognizes in him a knowledge, attention and precision of gesture that have gone beyond what, up until then, had been its result.
