The 2022 Blanc – Cuvé is a gloriously skinsy creature, led by chardonnay but likely with a bit of savagnin and other bits and bobs. Super savoury, with persistent minerality to boot. Roast chicken at the ready.

Etienne Thiebaud commenced making his own wine at Domaine des Cavarodes in the village of Cramans in the northern part of the Jura in 2007. He makes wines of amazing purity which reflect the terroir from which they come on either side of the Loue River and across to Arbois.
He only has 4.5 hectares of vines (ranging in age from 15 to 115 years old) which he farms organically but produces many cuvees from these small holdings. The wines are made as naturally as possible with the reds undergoing careful de-stemming by hand, semi-carbonic maceration and then maturation in large old barrels.
Key vineyards are Lumachelles which is in the commune of Mouchard just north of Arbois (where he has Chardonnay, Poulsard, Pinot Noir and Trousseau), Guille Bouton in Arbois (where he has Chardonnay) and Les Messagelins which is also in Arbois (where he has Trousseau).
