Pierre Overnoy is an emblematic figure in the process of awareness that has made progress the winemakers in the vineyards of the Jura and consequently its viticulture. The first vintage was in 1968 after an apprenticeship at the Station Oenologique in Beaune, which begins with modern enology. His early beginning place him in the midst of the traditional way of working the vineyard and the wine
the one of his father and some old Pupillin vintners, and the one modalities that began to emerge in the 1960s, based on new practices : Clonal selections, chemical weeding, selected industrial yeast, sulfite abuse and various additives, etc. The path that Overnoy began to follow was traced by the choice to not adopt these new solutions - despite their apport seemed "positive" contribution to soothe the fatigue of the winemakers, at least in the first place -
without however depriving the information reported by the oenological analysis , Which allow you to limit the risks while not eliminating them. A course that took him years to decide to experiment the bottling of bottles dedicated to white wines and to totally vinify without sulphites; A course enriched with the work of Jules Chauvet, a winemaker and negotiator of Beaujolais, a researcher and thinker of non-sulphurized wine, as well as the advice of Jacques Neuport, Chauvet's ideas spreader, and the experience of vineyards such as Marcel Lapierre and his "band" by Morgon. A path that responded to one goal: the most accurate possible expression of terroir.
Pierre Overnoy handed the company to Emmanuel Ouillony (his adoptive son) after a decade of work together. Six hectares of vineyards worked without chemicals in the municipality of Pupillin. Ploussard, chardonnay and savagnin produce non-sulphite wines, ouillé. The first bottle of Trousseau will be available after the next havest. In the vineyard they work manually in the cellar it works with a cement egg to give the wines purity purity and terragen nobility.
