WINEMAKER'S STORY — Renaud Bruyère & Adeline Houillon

Domaine Bruyère-Houillon is one of the most sought-after yet discreet names in contemporary Jura winemaking, located in Pupillin, near Arbois — a village dubbed the "world capital of Ploussard," where the local spelling is preferred over "Poulsard."

Adeline Houillon and Renaud Bruyère established their domaine in 2011, starting with 75 ares of vines in the Les Tourillons lieu-dit in Arbois. The couple's pedigree is impressive: Adeline is the sister of Emmanuel Houillon (of Domaine Pierre Overnoy) and grew up immersed in the world of natural wine alongside her brother and the legendary Pierre Overnoy, a pioneer of sulfur-free Jura wines; Renaud, originally from Tain-l'Hermitage, trained with Overnoy and Stéphane Tissot. These influences explain the precision and clarity of their wines — even though the couple has forged their own distinct identity.

The domaine now spans approximately 4 to 5 hectares, spread across the red, grey, and blue marl terroirs of Pupillin, Arbois, and Montigny-lès-Arsures. They cultivate the indigenous Jura grape varieties — Ploussard, Trousseau, Chardonnay, and Savagnin — using uncertified biodynamic practices, "out of ideology and conviction." Vinification is as natural as possible, with no additives from harvest to bottling. With naturally low yields from old vines, each vintage produces only a few thousand bottles — hence the rarity and cult status of these wines, which boast vibrant purity and great aromatic delicacy.

Superb with roast poultry, fine charcuterie, a Jura cheese board (Comté, Morbier), sautéed mushrooms, or trout. Poulsard loves delicate dishes.

Serene wine — A serene wine is a wine made to be placed on the table, it will be enhanced in the company of a good meal, and long and deep discussions. Alongside it, one hears the clinking of cutlery on plates and stories told in the hubbub, during long meals together.
