Domaine Overnoy Crinquand
Domaine Overnoy Crinquand works the steep, limestone-rich slopes of Arbois Pupillin in the Jura, a region defined by its singular approach to white wine. The domaine focuses on Chardonnay and Savagnin, the region's twin pillars. Its Chardonnay Vieilles Vignes Arbois-Pupillin, drawn from older vines, represents the height of the estate's expression in the variety—a wine of mineral precision and aging potential. The Savagnin Arbois-Pupillin showcases the grape's distinctive character: oxidative, textured, and built for the cellar. A younger-vine Chardonnay Arbois-Pupillin rounds the portfolio, offering a more immediate entry into the domaine's style. Wine Spectator has rated these wines. The Jura's continental climate and unique terroir—marked by clay, limestone, and marl—produce whites of uncommon structure and complexity, wines that demand patience and reward it.
