Alice Bouvot and Charles are the proud proprietors of 5 hectares of vines in the Arbois region of the Jura. They started their domaine in 2005 with just 2 hectares and over the years have bought small plots and slowly increased their production. On top of their warmth, the vineyards are equally as vibrant. L’Octavin is now Demeter biodynamic certified and they work to convey this message to the fullest. Wild grasses, weeds, insects, and animals all have a place in their vines creating a true ecosystem that gives a deeper meaning to each glass of their wine.
Since 2009 all L’Octavin wines are "pur jus", with no additives whatsoever. And Octavin did it again with this Ganache.
An utterly classic blend of Grenache and Gamay from the Jura and Savoie.
We all knew these two should tango. Now they have. And the result is a must try:
- Thyme sprigs
- Ground pepper
- Ripe cherry’s
- Red apple skins
- Vanilla
Harvested by hand with whole cluster and then spontaneous carbonic maceration.
