Côte de Feule is Pupillin’s most renowned vineyard, the village’s de facto grand cru. It lies in the heart of the appellation on a south-facing slope at 390 metres. The site was once a stone quarry, and Benjamin farms just 0.4 hectares of old-vine Ploussard rooted in steep, iris-coloured Triassic soils littered with limestone gravel. From vines planted in 1961, this is the cellar’s most inviting and approachable example of this fascinating grape variety. All of Benjamin’s Ploussards are crafted using mostly hand-destemmed grapes—Benoit uses only 5% of the ripest stems—with this cuvée fermented spontaneously in a large tronconique wooden cask, then aged for 12 months in tank.

"The super perfumed and floral 2023 Ploussard Côte de Feule that I loved from barrel shows even better from bottle. This comes from the most famous lieu-dit in Pupillin, a south-facing steep slope (40% in some places) on irised marl soils from Lias, where in 2023 he got a very good crop (60 hectoliters per hectare/6,000 liters per hectare). It comes in at 11.5% alcohol, delicate and elegant, flattering, with nice balance and a very savory mouthfeel and an almost salty finish. 3,534 bottles were filled in August 2024."
95 points, Luis Gutiérrez, The Wine Advocate
"Checking in at a mere 11.5% alcohol, the pristine 2023 Arbois Pupillin Ploussard Côte de Feule outperforms the 2022 I tasted last year. Intense rosehip, cranberry and earthy undertones all come alive. Light-bodied, smooth and refreshing, the 2023 is built around a taut spine of acidity that drives the palate through to a long, nuanced aftertaste."
