Nestled in the foothills of the Alps between Burgundy and Switzerland, the Jura is one of France’s smallest yet most fascinating wine regions. Its dramatic landscape of limestone cliffs and marl-rich soils provides the perfect stage for a range of wines that are as idiosyncratic as they are world-class. Once a well-kept secret among sommeliers, the Jura is now celebrated for its artisanal approach and its ability to produce wines of incredible tension, energy, and depth.
The region is defined by its unique grape varieties and winemaking traditions. Savagnin is the star of the white grapes, used to produce everything from zesty, floral whites to the legendary Vin Jaune. This "Yellow Wine" is aged under a veil of yeast (the voile) for over six years, resulting in a complex, nutty, and incredibly long-lived masterpiece. Meanwhile, the Jura’s take on Chardonnay often displays a distinctive mineral edge, sometimes made in the traditional "topped-up" style (ouillé) or the more oxidative traditional method.
For red wine enthusiasts, the Jura offers a refreshing departure from the norm. Along with elegant Pinot Noir, the indigenous Poulsard and Trousseau grapes produce light-bodied, pale-coloured reds that are packed with wild berry flavours, earthy spice, and vibrant acidity. Whether you are exploring a complex oxidative white or a crunchy, mountain-grown red, our Jura collection invites you to discover the raw beauty and ancient heritage of this captivating alpine terroir.
