Benjamin Benoit returned home in 2019 following his father's passing, achieving full control in 2020 and releasing his first vintage. Training with Burgundian masters—Charles Lachaux, Amélie Berthaut, and Nicolas Faure—shaped a philosophy of expressing each vineyard site separately. Courbes Raies, a 0.5-hectare parcel on fossil-rich limestone at 408m altitude with old vines, is vinified to show its character: structured, mineral Jura Chardonnay from Lower Liassic fossilized mollusk-bearing soils. This is complex winemaking applied to humble appellation—a statement of intention from a serious young producer.

More about Cellier Saint Benoit

Pupillin calls itself the world capital of Ploussard, and Benjamin Benoît is one of the young growers making that claim sound modest. He bottles single-parcel wines from some of the village's oldest vineyards, a rare approach for the grape.

The Benoîts sold their grapes to the local cooperative for generations. Benjamin's father, Denis, left the co-op and started making the domaine's own wine in the 2000s. When Denis died suddenly in 2019, Benjamin, freshly trained in Beaune and in Burgundy cellars including those of Nicolas Faure, Charles Lachaux and Amélie Berthaut, took over the family's 6.25 hectares. Pupillin sits just south of Arbois, largely on older Triassic marls that suit Ploussard especially well. He farms without weedkillers, with grass between the rows, and is working toward organic.

In the cellar he uses ambient yeasts, old barrels, little sulfur, and no fining or filtration. Ploussard is destemmed by hand through a perforated wooden board, while Pinot Noir and Trousseau go in as whole clusters. The range covers Chardonnay, Savagnin, Pinot Noir, a Crémant du Jura and the single-site Ploussards such as Chambines and Côte de Feule. Pure, bright, terroir-driven Jura from a grower to watch.
