Wine for sale: Bruno Bienaimé

Bruno Bienaimé

Hard work is paying off for this relatively new arrival to the Jura.

Moving from his native Champagne a little while ago, Bruno Bienaimé was immediately seduced by the Jura's Arlay terroir and the grape varietal that thrives there, the Savagnin. Naturally demanding in his work, Bruno set the bar high by setting to work on his 2 hectares with a horse, provoking admiration from his neighbours. This practice avoids tamping down the soil, preserving microbial and animal life essential to the blossoming of the vines. The vinifications are natural, with no additives or filtering. As well as growing Savagnin, Bruno cultivates Chardonnay, Trousseau and Pinot Noir vines.
