Buy Wine from region Jura

Jura vignoble is located at a medium distance between Burgundy and Switzerland, and spreads for about 80 kilometres over forests and meadows where vineyards are intertwined. Arbois, L'Étoile, Côtes du Jura and Château Chalon appellations stir up deep passions amongst wine and gourmet food connaisseurs. The small Jura region has a rich diversity of wine styles very gastronomical, equal only to Jerez wines.

The area is very similar to neighbour Burgundy, as they share climate, perhaps with colder winters in Jura, and the characteristic limestone soil from the Jurassic age. Actually, L'Étoile appellation is named after the star shaped marine fossils remains found here. 

The best Jura wines come through indigenous varieties such as Savagnin that provides an oxidized aged white wine, sometimes also coexisting with Chardonnay. These are full-bodied wines, with dried fruit notes such as hazelnut.
Other great examples of Savagnin are found in wines named vin jaune, a sort of sherry wine biologically aged under a film of yeasts. Wines that rest in barrels for a minimum period of 6 years, oxidative aged, that develop a sharp aroma of salty almond, especially suitable for white meat such as roasted poularde.

As far as Jura red wines are concerned, the typical variety used is Poulsard which supply fragrant and intensely coloured wines, yet smooth in palate, ideal to pair with game food. There are also other powerful wines from Trosseau variety, typical in the north of Arbois. And yet we must not forget Côtes du Jura, where interesting Pinot Noir wines are produced.

Jura's best vignerons are: Tissot, Puffeney, Jean Macle and Overnoy.

Jura: Always a hit!
