The name says it all. L'Absurde, the absurd, is a white Burgundy made from Pinot Noir, a rarely seen direct-press blanc de noirs from one of Savigny-les-Beaune's most promising young domaines. Jean Orsoni and Juliette Puyperoux founded Le Puy de l'Ours in 2020 on family vineyards, farming organically and working with a notably light hand. This cuvee comes from a tiny 0.02-hectare selection within the Clos des Godeaux, from vines planted in 1968 on clay-limestone with white marl. The grapes are pressed whole-cluster, fermented with native yeasts, and aged ten to twelve months on the lees in 228 and 400-liter barrels. The result is something genuinely original: a white of remarkable texture, salinity, and quiet intensity. Tiny production, big imagination.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Pour with roast chicken, lobster with brown butter, scallops, or veal in cream sauce. Also pairs beautifully with aged comte, mushroom risotto, smoked trout, and pork loin with apples or stone fruit.

Tasting Profile

White peach, quince, almond, brioche, and a deep saline core. Medium-bodied with fine texture, mouth-coating without being heavy, and a long, savory finish. Genuinely singular: the structure of a serious white Burgundy, with hints of red-fruit ghost.
