Alice Bouvot is the proud proprietor of 5 hectares of vines in the Arbois region of the Jura. Alice started her domaine in 2005 with just 2 hectares and over the years have bought small plots and slowly increased their production. Some of our favorite winery visits are with Alice and her adorable sons. On top of her warmth, the vineyards are equally as vibrant. L’Octavin is now Demeter biodynamic certified and she works to convey this message to the fullest. Wild grasses, weeds, insects, and animals all have a place in their vines creating a true ecosystem that gives a deeper meaning to each glass of her wine.

Since 2009 all L’Octavin wines are “pur jus”, with no additives whatsoever. The grapes are destemmed by hand and fermented without the use of SO2, cultured yeasts, or other additives. Most of the wines are fermented and aged in fiber glass or steel tanks, but only at the ambient temperature of the cave. Most of L’Octavin wines are made to reflect single plot expression.

-Zev Rovine Selections

A blend of Vermentino, Marsanne and Roussane from Claude Ughetto in the Vaucluse. The Vermentino was pressed directly, whilst the others were either fermented as whole bunches or left to infuse in the juice of the Vermentino for a fortnight. After fermentation the wines were blended, pressed and left to rest in cuve until the following summer, producing a hazy, lively maceration that is all tangerine, sea salt and bitter herbs.
