Location
Florent Rouve (whose name appears sometimes as the brand on these wines) took over from Jean Rijckaert many years ago, and deftly oversees both the Mâconnais and Jura estates, the latter now with its own winery in Villette-lès-Arbois and an experienced on-site manager. With just over 6ha close to Arbois and Pupillin (some in AOC Côtes du Jura), Florent would like to expand, but meantime grapes are purchased for a négociant range, identified by brown capsules. The domaine vineyards have been officially converted to organics with certification, even though this does not appear on labels. There is a tiny production of Poulsard, otherwise the range is restricted to profound and expressive topped-up Chardonnays and Savagnins.
