🏰 About the Domaine
Jacques Puffeney, nicknamed the “Pope of Arbois,” embodied Jura’s excellence for over 50 years. This discreet and passionate winemaker produced wines both profound and luminous, now legendary. His 2012 Vin Jaune is one of his last vintages: a rare bottle, charged with emotion and memory, for enlightened connoisseurs.
