Domaine Houillon-Overnoy

On the Jura wine scene, Domaine Houillon-Overnoy no longer requires any presentation. It embodies the quintessence of natural wines and establishes itself as THE essential reference. The history of this legendary estate dates back to 1968, when Pierre Overnoy decided to lay the foundations of a daring wine adventure, an adventure that Emmanuel Houillon would join in the 90s and which he would resume with passion in 2001. From its beginnings , Pierre Overnoy made a radical choice, in opposition to the trends of his time. It renounces chemical weeding practices, clonal selections, sulphites and other inputs. The objective is clear: to capture the true essence of its vines. Native grape varieties such as Chardonnay, Ploussard and Savagnin are in the spotlight, testifying to the deep attachment to the Jura terroir. Experimentation and questioning are the pillars of Emmanuel Houillon's philosophy, always accompanied by Pierre Overnoy. They opt for spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, long maturation on lees, and refuse any filtration or clarification. This resolutely natural and non-interventionist approach allows the wines to express themselves with exceptional purity and authenticity. Domaine Houillon-Overnoy is an institution that embodies the Jura wine tradition in all its splendor. The resulting wines reflect the magnificent minerality of the Jura terroir, with a precision and depth that appeals to enthusiasts around the world. Today Domaine Houillon-Overnoy is much more than a wine estate, it is an icon of natural Jura wines and a source of inspiration for many winegrowers. Their contribution to the natural wine movement is invaluable.
