Cellier Saint Benoit Arbois Pupillin Fonteneille Trousseau 2023
The lieu-dit Fonteneille lies at the heart of the Arbois Pupillin AOC, on the plateau above the CĂŽte de Feule. Situated between 390 and 400 metres in altitude, the vines are planted in a northâsouth orientation on soils of silt and clay over limestone with gryphĂ©es. Planted in 2008, these are currently the youngest vines on the estate, yet they are already producing fruit of excellent quality. Trousseauâs riper stems and more compact bunches, compared to Ploussard, allow Benjamin to ferment this cuvĂ©e entirely as whole bunches.
The wine was aged for 12 months in used 228-litre and 600-litre oak barrels, then bottled without filtration. Due to the low yields in 2022, the Fonteneille vineyard was bottled together with the CÎte de Feule under the Gryphées label.
