The Jura wine region is small in size but large in its remarkable diversity. It covers 80
kilometres between Burgundy and Switzerland, in the eastern France. Created in 1937, the
AOC (designation of origin) of Cotes du Jura is omnipresent in the north and south of the
vineyard, on varied and contrasting terroirs. It is the second leading AOC in Jura in terms
of production, and it engages all five of the Jura's grape varieties.
The whole range of wines of the Jura is represented, although the whites dominate - still or sparkling - with wines that are round, fruity, and generous.

Winemaking
After the manual harvest, the grapes are recepted at the winery and put into thermoregulated stainless steel tank for a total maceration of 12 days. Followed regularly throughout the fermentation, incorporating some pumping and pigeage. At the moment of pressing, the press and drop juices of each cuvee are assembled and withdrawn for malolactic fermentation on fine lees.
