About the Producer

About the Producer

The Cellier Saint Benoit estate embodies a beautiful family history in Pupillin, in the heart of the Jura. Once focused on polyculture, the estate took a decisive turn when Denis Benoit chose to vinify his own grapes. Today, it is his son Benjamin who brings a modern vision to Cellier Saint Benoit, enriched by his experiences in Burgundy and as far away as New Zealand. The estate produces wines of great purity, thanks to organic viticulture and particularly meticulous winemaking. Located on the privileged terroirs of Arbois and Pupillin, Cellier Saint Benoit excels in the interpretation of Jura grape varieties. One discovers lively and precise whites, made from Chardonnay and Savagnin, as well as delicate reds crafted from Ploussard, Trousseau, and Pinot Noir. Among the iconic cuvées, we can cite the Arbois-Pupillin "La Marcette" Chardonnay, the Arbois-Pupillin "Courbes Raies" Pinot Noir, and the Arbois-Pupillin "Côte de Feule" Ploussard, not to mention a Crémant du Jura of remarkable freshness. An essential address for discovering the authentic expression of Arbois and Pupillin wines. Among the most sought-after cuvées are Cellier Saint Benoit Arbois-Pupillin 'La Marcette' Chardonnay, Cellier Saint Benoit Arbois-Pupillin 'Courbes Raies' Pinot Noir, and Cellier Saint Benoit Arbois-Pupillin 'Côte de Feule' Ploussard—useful benchmarks for understanding the house's identity.
