Auguste Pirou Arbois Pinot Noir AOC

The name Pirou seems to have a dual origin and a double meaning: both a nickname for a child in a local dialect and derived from the word pirol, itself from the Latin petrus (stone), and thus seems to reflect the rocky soils, which are abundant in the vineyard.

The Pirou family emblem is the sun, which radiates and warms hearts. In a northern vineyard like the Jura, with its harsh and sometimes long winters, it’s a nod to the importance of the sun in ensuring the perfect ripeness of the different grape varieties: Savagnin, Poulsard, Trousseau in particular.

Small in size but vast in its exceptional diversity, the Jura vineyard stretches for 80 kilometers between Burgundy and Switzerland, along France’s eastern border.

While Pinot Noir is globally famous for its expressions in nearby Burgundy, the cooler alpine foothills of the Jura wine region shape a unique varietal character. This specific wine is highly valued by sommeliers for its restraint, vibrant acidity, and clear expression of native terroir.
