Buy Jura Wines
All our winemakers in JuraIt should be known that our Gaul ancestors used to make wine in Jura… Today, it has become a paradise for small exploitations and united cooperatives. If you’re in need of some authenticity, there’s no need to go further! The appellation extends over a little more than 1800 hectares, between Burgundy and Switzerland. Due to its geographical situation, Jura produces wines that are very unique in the country, some would even say atypical: “straw” wines (a wine with notes of honeyed and sweet fruits, hazelnut and a good balance of acidity), “yellow” wines (a dry and aromatic wine with a taste of hazelnut, and sometimes spicy notes of turmeric, ginger and cardamone) and Cremant of Jura (a sparkling wine made with at least 50% of Chardonnay) for example. It is a region with a cool climate, clay, limestone soils, and a lot of fossil materials coming from the Jurassic era, hence the name of the region…!

White wines of the Jura are mainly made of blends that include Savagnin (star of the region with a 20% vine population) and Chardonnay. As for red wines, they use grape varieties such as Trousseau, Poulsard and Pinot Noir. At the nose, white wines that are of a beautiful finesse are intense on peaches and apples, with some notes of vines. Red wines have aromas of candied red fruits and spices, including cinnamon, with a nice length. As for the vines, they bloom on limestone and marl soils and produce 80% white wine.
Regarding food and wine pairings, white wines (such as Macvin du Jura or even Château-Chalon) are to be enjoyed with a curry-based cuisine, a crusty Jura cheese (Mont d’Or, Franc-Comtois, Beaufort), all dishes made from cream, with a generous amount of mushrooms and an imitable “coq” with yellow wine. Red wines would match perfectly with a juicy roast beef, a roasted lamb leg, a poultry of Bresse and grilled fish… It is no coincidence that the wines of Jura perfectly match Jurassian and Franc-Comtoise cuisine!
