Emmanuel Houillon has carried that legacy forward on the estate's tiny 2.5-hectare holding in Pupillin, just outside Arbois, farming old vines organically and bottling with the same patient, exacting philosophy Pierre established decades ago: wines are released only when they're deemed ready, sometimes several vintages at once, and since the labels are largely identical across the range, bottles are distinguished only by the colour of their wax seal. \"Vieux Savagnin ouillé\" refers to old-vine Savagnin aged the topped-up way — ouillé rather than left to age under a veil like Vin Jaune — kept in very old barrels and regularly refilled to guard against full oxidation, though a whisper of that oxidative character still creeps through, adding depth rather than dominating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe result is a Savagnin of extraordinary tension and complexity: a deep golden hue, with a nose that moves between freshly cracked walnut, warm marzipan, pound cake, dried apricot, and grilled pineapple, layered with lemon confit, beeswax, and white flowers. The palate is intense and richly textured, carried by laser-sharp acidity and a pronounced salinity that keeps the wine electric rather than heavy, unfurling further with hours of air\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Emmanuel Houillon (Maison Pierre Overnoy)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48205935378597,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/2597\/2133\/files\/ArboisPupillinVieuxSavagninouille.jpg?v=1788236623","url":"https:\/\/wine.thestunnedmullet.com.au\/products\/emmanuel-houillon-maison-pierre-overnoy-arbois-pupillin-vieux-savagnin-ouille-2012","provider":"The Stunned Mullet Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
