ARNAUD GREINER
La Cart’ouche 2022
Jura, France
A blend of around eighty percent Pinot Noir with a little Ploussard and Trousseau from four parcels around the village of Liesle. Destemmed by hand and fermented in cuve on the skins for around a month, before being pressed off to old barrels for a year. A delicate, savoury wine that pairs little red fruits with just the right amount of earth and spice.
Please note there is a limit of one bottle per customer.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER
Arnaud Greiner farms just under a hectare of old vines planted over six remote parcels and a variety of terroirs around his home in Liesle.
The micro plots are spread out between the Jura and the neighbouring Doubs and planted with a heady mix of Chardonnay, Savagnin, Melon à Queue Rouge, Ploussard, Pinot Noir, Trousseau, Gamay and ancient varieties.
Arnaud’s day job is working alongside Etienne Thiebaud of Domaine des Cavarodes, and much like his mentor, it is needless to say that Arnaud works with great respect for nature in the vines. Tending them by horse and hand, he works organically and with a real sensitivity.
Our years of tasting in the cellar with Arnaud have revealed one of the most talented young vignerons in the Jura. Built on a backbone of pristine fruit, his wines are uncommonly pure, displaying a subtle elegance and gentle focus. It is a real pleasure to share them with you all.
