Fabrice Dodane / Domaine de Saint Pierre
Location: France
Fabrice studied enology in Beaune before fine tuning his skills as a winemaker at the Cooperative of Pupillin. He started working at Domaine de Saint Pierre in 1989 as a manager and took full control in 2011. The Domaine achieved organic certification in 2012, having started conversion in 2002. In recent years, due to lesser crops in Jura caused by spring frosts, Fabrice has expanded his horizons to include purchasing grapes from friends both in the Jura and from other regions; the project is called Le Dos d’Chat and is a series of easier wines made by that show a light touch with good sense of wine-making. All wines, both domaine and negoce are fermented with native yeasts either in tank or neutral barriques.
