The Jura, a captivating wine region in eastern France, stands out for its unique character and exceptional wines. Nestled between Burgundy and Switzerland, this appellation offers a diversity of terroirs, from steep slopes to limestone soils, ideal for viticulture. Jura is famous for its white wines made from the Savagnin grape, including the renowned Vin Jaune, aged under a layer of yeast, revealing aromas of nuts and spices. The red wines, primarily crafted from Poulsard and Trousseau, are characterized by their lightness and finesse.
The continental climate, with mountain influences, allows for slow grape maturation, thus preserving great freshness and aromatic complexity. Jura wines have a strong ageing potential and are beloved by enthusiasts of natural and authentic wines.
