The 2022 Cellier Saint Benoit Arbois Pupillin Courbes Raies Pinot Noir is a beautifully expressive Pinot Noir from Arbois Pupillin in the Jura, France. Sourced from the Courbes Raies vineyard, where limestone-rich soils and high-altitude conditions favour freshness and precision, the wine is 100% whole-bunch fermented to highlight its aromatic lift and purity. It opens with vibrant aromas of maraschino cherry, wild raspberry and rose petals, complemented by subtle spice and a distinctive mineral edge.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky tannins, bright natural acidity and a polished, elegant texture. Flavours of red cherry and black cherry are layered with delicate floral notes and saline minerality, leading to a long, fresh finish. The limestone terroir gives the wine remarkable energy and finesse, making it a distinctive expression of Jura Pinot Noir.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers who enjoy elegant, mineral-driven Pinot Noir with freshness and finesse. Pair it with roast chicken, duck breast, mushroom risotto, charcuterie or Comté cheese. Enjoy now after a light decant, or cellar for the next 8–10 years as it develops greater savoury complexity.
