Canons du Jean La Cuvée Capucine 2022 is a rare and classic Jura Chardonnay from the esteemed Arbois region. Winemaker Julien Crinquand, who inherited five hectares of vineyards from his father and grandfather, has crafted this exquisite wine from 100% Chardonnay grapes. The wine boasts a captivating aroma of yellow fruit, apples, and citrus, with concentrated ripe yellow fruit flavors and a hint of minerality. The finish is long and satisfying. Produced with low intervention and minimal sulphur, this wine reflects the true character of the Jura terroir, composed of various clay and limestone soils. Perfectly suited for pairing with fish, chicken, or Eastern cuisine, it is best served at a temperature of 8 to 12 degrees.
Julien Crinquand is a rising star in the Jura wine scene, based in the village of Arbois. After apprenticing with Fabrice Dodane at Domaine de Saint-Pierre, Crinquand launched his own estate in 2019, working with family vineyards that had been converted to organic farming in 2016. He cultivates local grape varieties such as Chardonnay, Savagnin, Trousseau, Poulsard, and Pinot Noir, embracing natural winemaking practices with minimal intervention and low or no added sulfur.
The Cuvée Capucine 2022 is a 100% Chardonnay wine sourced from the Les Bodines and La Côte parcels in Arbois. Les Bodines features limestone-rich soils, while La Côte has deeper grey marl soils. The wine is aged for one year on its lees and bottled without added sulfur, resulting in a vibrant expression with notes of ripe quince, red apple, and a characteristic Jura minerality.
This wine exemplifies Crinquand's commitment to producing authentic, terroir-driven wines that reflect the unique character of the Jura region.
