Domaine de La Pinte

La Pinte, with its impressive winery surrounded by vineyards between Arbois and Pupillin, is well worth visiting. Owned by the Martin family, successive, excellent managers changed the 35-ha estate to be run first organically, then biodynamically with full certification. While all varieties are grown, over half is Savagnin, allowing them to show off the versatility of this grape, recently adding a skin-maceration version to the range. Long-term oenologist Emmanuelle Goydadin ensures excellent consistency with the carefully-made wines, which are aged in a range of oak cask sizes, and released often later than from other estates.
