Domaine Des Cavarodes, Poulsard Les Lumachelles 2020

Organic, Vegan Jura, France From the importer- Etienne Thiebaud, as well known for his shyness as for his beautiful wines, began his domaine in 2007 after working for several years with Pascal and Evelyne Clairet of Domaine de la Tournelle. He settled just north of Arbois in Cramans, by the Loue river, which marks the boundary between the Jura and the Doubs départments. Still in his 20s, he’s a bright young star in the Jura firmament, and has become a bit of a sensation on the natural wine scene, in part because his wines show incredible purity and terroir expression, and in part because they’ve been virtually impossible to acquire. When Etienne began Domaine des Cavarodes in 2007, he was fortunate to acquire a few very old parcels of vines between 60 and 120 years of age. These vines are just on the north side of the Loue, and therefore just outside the appellation of Arbois. The parcels are planted to several extremely old and rare Jura varieties that are great curiosities to nurseri
