Description
Eric Thill originally comes 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 there. 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.
Savagnin from vines facing west. No melolactic fermentation to preserve the freshness of the wine and 10 months on the lees before bottling. A clean, full white wine with ripe fruit and blanched almonds on the nose with the refreshing aspect of a hint of lemon. Fresh, nicely acidic with elegant notes of apple. A complex white. Characteristic and playful.
