Maison Pierre Overnoy is a legendary natural wine estate in the Arbois‑Pupillin appellation, long celebrated for its zero‑to‑minimal sulphite philosophy and deep commitments to manual farming and spontaneous fermentation.

Founded by Pierre Overnoy — who began farming in Pupillin in the late 1960s and abandoned sulphite additions in the mid‑1980s after influence from Jules Chauvet — the estate became a touchstone for natural wine culture in France.

Today, Emmanuel Houillon — Pierre’s adopted son and longtime collaborator — continues these practices across the ~6 ha of vineyards, primarily planted to Ploussard (locally spelled Poulsard) for reds and Chardonnay/Savagnin for whites, with occasional Albariño‑like oxidative styles such as Vin Jaune and Vieux Savagnin ouillé.

Vinification relies on indigenous yeasts, long élevages (often many years in old barrels and foudres), no fining, no filtration, and nearly no added sulphur, which yields wines of remarkable depth, delicacy, and intensity — wines that reward patience and cellaring.

Production is tiny (often <20,000 bottles in good years), and the wines — while iconic and influential — remain deeply connected to their place and craft.
