Julien Mareschal, a young winemaker on the marly valleys of Pupillin, cultivates 5ha of vines. The terroir is on a steep slope, with manual soil work and no chemicals. He is part of this excellent generation of organic/biodynamic winemakers in the Jura, where respect for the terroir is reflected in the principles of biodynamics, natural grassing, and soil work (ploughing, hilling, raking...). Sulfur dioxide doses are kept to a minimum, and fermentation uses indigenous yeasts from the terroir. The estate has been practicing Organic Agriculture since 2012. Julien is very attached to local Jura traditions, as are his cuvées. The Ploussard, Trousseau, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Savagnin grape varieties express themselves through different plots whose soils and exposure create their typicality, thus producing terroir wines.
