About the Producer

El Babou is Olivier Saint-Priest's boutique natural wine project in the Jura, a micro-estate of exceptional character that produces some of the region's most sought-after and limited-production bottles. Working with traditional Jura varieties, Poulsard, Trousseau, Savagnin, and Chardonnay, from organically farmed parcels, Olivier applies the region's most rigorous low-intervention principles: native yeasts, zero additives, no filtration, and long aging that allows the wine's terroir signature to develop fully.

El Babou cuvées are rare, personal, and amongst the most thrilling bottles to come out of this extraordinary eastern French region.
