Jura wine is French wine produced in the Jura département. Located between Burgundy and Switzerland, this cool climate wine region produces wines with some similarity to Burgundy and Swiss wine. Jura wines are distinctive and unusual wines.
The domaine flirts with organic and biodynamic methods but have not committed to restraints they bring; Jean-Claude prefers to be flexible when he needs to be, especially concerning the use of copper and sulfur sprays in the vineyards. Organic methods require the employment of more of each of these elements in the vineyards (about three times as much as a lutte raisonnée farming) which he believes damages the natural yeasts he needs in his cellar for the “sous voile” aging, a process where wines are not topped up in barrel their entire life but are protected by a covering of yeast (voile) that keeps the wines fresh and gives them their completely unique character.
Dry, Earthy, Elegant and Aromatic, High acid, Medium Body, Rustic
