L'Oiseau Rôdeur is a natural wine estate founded in 2021 by Marie Menoux and Thomas Rougier, based in Poligny, Jura, France. The duo — career-changers drawn to wine — trained with respected Jura estates including Les Pieds sur Terre, Les Bottes Rouges, and Nicolas Jacob before launching their own project. Working across approximately 4–5.5 hectares in Poligny and Grozon, they produce clean, terroir-driven wines using organic farming and minimal-intervention winemaking. Their first vintage was released in 2023, sourced in part from a treasured 50-year-old parcel that anchors the domaine's range.
Approach
Philosophy
Marie Menoux and Thomas Rougier's approach is rooted in a clear, uncompromising vision: to produce wines that faithfully and precisely reflect the Jura terroir. Their goal is not stylistic intervention but transparency — wines that speak of their place with clarity and honesty. In the cellar, fermentations are conducted exclusively with indigenous yeasts, and wines are bottled without filtration or fining, with sulfites kept to a strict minimum.
