During this time, he became fixated on natural winemaking, no doubt with influence from his good friend and fellow vigneron, Raphael Monnier. Jean-Baptiste went about living this double life for ten years or so, devoting all of his free time away from school to working in the vines. It wasn’t until an apprenticeship with Jura-master, Stéphane Tissot, and some encouragement from Raphael, that he decided to bite the bullet and commit fully to trading his classroom for his vineyards.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"paragraph\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eAt the beginning he began to acquire parcels in both Arbois and Abergement, which are quite possibly the closest vineyards in the Côtes de Jura AOC to Arbois. Strict organic principles were applied from the beginning, and experiments with biodynamic treatments are ongoing based on each vineyards individual needs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKeeping with his experimental tendencies, Jean-Baptiste makes a wide array of wines. The overarching theme is quite simple: native yeasts, no fining or filtration, depending on the cuvée, and low- to no-suplhur. As Jean-Baptiste says, “We make the wines that we like to drink ourselves.”\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"paragraph\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e12.0% ABV\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Les Bottes Rouges","offers":[{"title":"2023","offer_id":67597005455604,"sku":null,"price":57.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/7451\/5700\/files\/les_bottes_rouges_neo_pinot.webp?v=1790695179","url":"https:\/\/goodhombre.wine\/products\/arbois-neo-pinot-noir","provider":"Good Hombre Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
