Overnoy-Crinquand 2022 Arbois-Pupillin Ploussard

Domaine Overnoy-Crinquand lies in the center of the village of Pupillin, producing fantastic wines from their 5.5 hectares of organically tended vines planted in limestone and clay soils. Pupillin is recognized as the home of the Ploussard grape, and given the results that Mikael Crinquand is consistently able to obtain, we have to agree. This wine is clean and vibrant upon opening, with beautiful red berry fruit and rose petal aromas on the nose, anchored by a rustic minerality and brambly herbs redolent of sage. The 2022 is light-medium, still true to the spirit of Poulsard and varietally spot on, with a welcome amount of subtle structure and grip along with incredibly pure fruit and spice.
