Description
Eric Thill is originally from Alsace, where his family makes wine on the Schlossberg. After studying in Dijon, he moved with his wife Bérengère to the Haut-Rhin (Jura) in 2007, just 45 kilometres below Arbois, and bought a 2.76-hectare estate. They built both the vineyard and the cellar themselves. The estate has been certified organic since 2015 and the 5.8 hectares are now biodynamically cultivated. Eric prefers wines from a single grape variety. The land therefore consists of more than 50% Chardonnay grapes, with a few vines where Savagnin, Pinot Noir and Poulsard are grown. His vines have an average age of 50 years. Only 25 hl/ha.
Pré Fleur is made up of 85% Chardonnay, harvested from the Sur Montboucon, a south-facing vineyard where 1.8 hectares of Chardonnay is grown on a soil of clay and slate.
Oxidative style wine, with a strong aroma of roasted nuts and honey and yet with an elegant aftertaste of chalk and apple. Marzipan and blossom on the nose, with a light note of lemon. A wine that pairs beautifully with mild cheeses and a light pate. Would certainly not go out of place with buttery dishes with langoustines or lobster. Chic, classic and at the same time so playful.
