Domaine de l’Octavin was established in 2005 by Alice Bouvot and Charles Dagand in the Jura region, with Alice taking full ownership in 2015. The estate cultivates a rich palette of grape varieties including Chardonnay, Savagnin, Poulsard, Trousseau, and Pinot Noir, planted in some of Jura’s most esteemed lieux-dits such as En Curon, La Mailloche, Les Nouvelles, and Les Corvées. Alice employs biodynamic farming practices, certified by Demeter, fostering biodiversity and soil health, while practicing minimal intervention so that each wine expresses the terroir in its purest form. Before dedicating herself fully to winemaking, Alice pursued a professional career as a cellist, performing across Europe. This musical journey refined her sensitivity to harmony, rhythm, and nuance, qualities she now translates into the balance, structure, and finesse of her wines. This combination of musical artistry and viticultural precision has helped Domaine de l’Octavin become a reference point in Jura’s natural wine scene.
Winemaking at Domaine de l’Octavin is treated as an art, blending the discipline of classical music with the spontaneity of jazz. Alice approaches each vineyard as a unique composition, interpreting its personality and transforming it into wine with the same care she once brought to her cello. Her “Gnomes” cuvée line is a bold négoce project: grapes are sourced from natural winegrowers across multiple wine regions and all are vinified in L’Octavin facilities. This approach offers Alice greater freedom and creativity while maintaining Octavin’s signature style, and it has allowed the estate to expand its production and diversify its range—a feat that would have been complex within Jura alone. Celebrated for their expressive flavors and whimsical hand-drawn gnome labels, the Gnomes wines are playful yet meticulous, coveted by collectors and connoisseurs alike. Each bottle embodies Octavin’s philosophy, meticulous craftsmanship, artistic inspiration, and the ability to capture the very soul of Jura.
