The Jacques Puffeney Arbois Vin de Paille is a very rare, luscious sweet wine from Jura, made from dried Savagnin, Poulsard, and Chardonnay.

“Jacques Puffeney of Montigny-les-Arsures is among the Juras most prestigious, engaging, and (thanks to the rotund amplitude of both his torso and white-bearded visage) easily recognized vignerons, and crafts wines no less distinctive if much less massive than their author. With the exceptions of Pinot Noir, vin jaune, and his few sweet wines all of which are matured in older barriques Puffeney relies on ancient foudres, of which I have not seen such a collection as his outside of Alsace or Chateauneuf-du-Pape; and he is favorably inclined to long elevage even for non-oxidative lots, which can themselves thus come off as if influenced by flor or other living denizens of the cask.” The Wine Advocate, June 2012
