At this domaine it grows on grey marl and blue marl, the two soils Pierre Overnoy picks out when he walks the vines. It gives a red so pale it can look like a dark rosé in the glass, and it carries perfume rather than weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can tell this bottle apart from the others without reading a word of the label. The domaine codes its wines by wax: \u003cstrong\u003ered wax is Ploussard\u003c\/strong\u003e, yellow is Savagnin, white is Chardonnay. The vintage sits on the small shield at the neck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow it is made\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo sulphur goes in, and neither does anything else. Pierre split the 1985 vintage, part with a little sulphur and part without, and from 1986 the wines here have been made with none at all. Emmanuel Houillon-Overnoy has run the domaine since 2001 and has kept it that way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe whole estate is six and a half hectares, with two hectares of Ploussard in it, and a normal year gives 20,000 to 25,000 bottles across every wine. Frost took 2017, 2019 and 2021, and 2021 gave six hectolitres per hectare, close to nothing. There is very little of this wine anywhere in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have not tried this vintage. We would rather tell you that than invent a tasting note for a bottle we are giving away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead the full story of the domaine, and watch both of our films with Pierre and Manu, on the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pierre-overnoy\"\u003eEmmanuel Houillon Overnoy collection page\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MORE Natural Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":66035808141580,"sku":"MORE-5755-SKU","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0221\/6407\/8692\/files\/maison-pierre-overnoy-houillon-ploussard-2023-arbois-pupillin.png?v=1792691025","url":"https:\/\/morenaturalwine.co.uk\/products\/maison-pierre-overnoy-ploussard-2023","provider":"MORE Natural Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
