In Pupillin, the self-proclaimed World Capital of Ploussard, Benjamin Benoit has quickly become a name to watch. After training under some of Burgundy’s most revered winemakers, fate called him home earlier than expected. His father passed away unexpectedly, and at just 23, he took the reins of his family's domaine. What he has achieved in just a few vintages is nothing short of extraordinary.
Benoit’s wines are pure Jura, forged through devotion—thoughtful vineyard work, no shortcuts, and an obsession with translating each site under vine individually. He bottles ploussard and chardonnay from distinct lieux-dits, highlighting the terroir’s remarkable depth. These are wines made with intuition, patience, and a deep respect for the land. Highly respected and deeply expressive, they are a must for lovers of Jura’s finest.
A sister wine to Melon à Queue Rouge Cuvée 1938, this chardonnay comes from the same historic vines planted over 80 years ago. A living link to Jura’s winemaking past, it is a wine of quiet power, intensity, and age-worthy structure—a bottle for those who seek depth and history in every sip.
