Description
Alice Bouvot, the heart and soul of Domaine de L'Octavin, decided years ago to break with the conventions of Jura winemaking. After training in Bordeaux and Burgundy, she renounced the traditional path and embraced a lively, uncompromising viticulture. L'Octavin Betty Bullas was born as part of his quest to capture the freest expression of terroir and fruit: an untamed pét-nat, without artifice. The wine is composed of 90% Molette (a variety indigenous to the Bugey), complemented by 5% Muscat from the south (plots in the Gard) and 5% Viognier from the Beaujolais. The grapes, grown according to biodynamic principles certified by DEMETER and organic (ECOCERT), are harvested by hand. The Molette adds freshness and nerve, while the Muscat and Viognier add perfume and texture. Together, they create an electric and poetic natural wine, a child of its time and of an earth that vibrates underfoot.
Winemaking
L'Octavin Betty Bullas is made using the ancestral method, which encloses the fermentation in progress inside the bottle, without intervention. No sulphites, sugar or external yeasts are added. Fermentation starts spontaneously in steel tanks with indigenous yeasts. Before the process is completely finished, it is bottled so that the fermentation is completed in the bottle, generating a lively, natural and slightly unpredictable bubble. There is no filtering, no disgorging: what you drink is wine in its pure state, just as it was intended in the vineyard.
Taste
On uncorking, L'Octavin Betty Bullas is pure vitality. The bubbles are fine but restless, as if the wine cannot stand still. On the nose, aromas of green apple, fresh pear, citrus zest and a floral note reminiscent of subtle jasmine or elderflower emerge. The Muscat contributes a note of freshly pressed grapes, juicy and ethereal. The palate is vibrant, with a sharp acidity that activates the senses. There is tension, freshness and a saline, almost marine background, reminiscent of wet stone, leaving a dry, long and absolutely refreshing finish. Nothing is obvious, everything is suggestive. The wine invites intuition rather than analysis: a sensation of liquid freedom.
Ideal as an aperitif or with light dishes, raw fish, mild cheeses or vegetable cuisine, L'Octavin Betty Bullas is a celebration of the undomesticated, of the essential. To drink it is to enter into the radical and luminous philosophy of L'Octavin : wine as a living being.
