Kevin Bouillet

Natural Wines from Pupillin, Jura

Kevin Bouillet, affectionately known as “Pépin,” is one of the most exciting young voices in Jura’s new generation of winemakers. A true enfant du pays, Kevin grew up in Pupillin, the iconic Jura village often considered the cradle of Poulsard. After honing his skills alongside Evelyne and Pascal Clairet of Domaine de la Tournelle, he launched his own domaine in 2018.

A Deep Connection to Terroir

Working just 4 hectares of vines on Jurassic limestone and blue and grey marl soils, Kevin is committed to organic farming from day one. He cultivates his vineyards with great precision and care, fostering biodiversity and maintaining detailed records of all treatments. His philosophy: healthy vines, healthy wines.

A Gentle Hand in the Cellar

In the winery, Kevin’s approach is intuitive and low-intervention. He trusts his instincts and his palate, adapting vintage by vintage rather than following a fixed recipe.

• Native yeast fermentations only

• No fining or filtration

• No sulfur added, or only minimal “homeopathic” doses if needed for stability

• Regular tasting during élevage guides the wines naturally through their development

Jura Grapes, Pure and Unfiltered

Kevin works with the five signature Jura grape varieties—Chardonnay, Savagnin, Poulsard, Trousseau, and Pinot Noir—as well as the rare Melon à Queue Rouge, an old local Chardonnay variant. His wines are focused, expressive, and deeply rooted in their terroir.

Among his most sought-after cuvées:

• Pépin Rouge – often a blend of Poulsard and Trousseau

• Pépin Blanc – pure Chardonnay

• La Marcette – single-varietal Poulsard

• Trousseau, Pinot Noir, and Savagnin, including both ouillé and potentially sous voile styles

Natural Wine with Jura Soul

Kevin Bouillet is part of a vibrant new wave redefining the Jura wine landscape—thoughtful, grounded, and quietly radical. His wines speak with clarity, honesty, and a deep sense of place, offering a pure expression of Pupillin’s extraordinary terroir.
