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.
A blend of Chardonnay, hand-picked from different plots of both marl and clay (marne et d'argile) subsoil. Matured for 16 months on its own yeasts. A beautiful, floral wine with aromas of apricots and mirabelles, followed by a long finish. Perfect under a parasol with a large plate of fish and shellfish.
