## About this wine

Domaine Nøvice was established in Poligny, Jura, by Yves Roy and his partner Christelle. After spending decades working outside of winemaking, Yves returned to his native Jura at age 50, retrained in oenology, and apprenticed under renowned vigneron Valentin Morel of Domaine Les Pieds sur Terre. The name Nøvice plays humorously on starting out fresh later in life. Cuvée names like Le Jus de la Folie des Autres capture the playful, low-intervention spirit of the estate.

## Interesting facts

- Founder Yves Roy launched Domaine Nøvice at age 50 after retraining under Jura star Valentin Morel.
- The name translates to 'The Juice of Others' Madness', poking fun at unconventional natural winemaking.
- Bottled without any added sulfites, fining, or commercial yeast additions.

## Food pairing

The crisp acidity and natural effervescence cut effortlessly through rich fats, fried textures, and salty cured meats, leaving the palate refreshed.

## Wine making process

Crafted via Méthode Ancestrale to produce a natural Pétillant Naturel. Fermentation starts naturally in the cellar with indigenous yeasts and finishes bottled under crown cap without added sugar or yeasts. The wine undergoes zero fining, filtration, or added sulfites, capturing an authentic, wild, unfiltered snapshot of the vintage.
