Jura is a small but unique wine region located between Burgundy and Switzerland in eastern France. Wine production here dates back to Roman times, and the region has preserved many ancient traditions, making it a distinctive and sought-after area among wine enthusiasts today.

The vineyards of Jura grow on limestone and marl soils, which are ideal for both white and red grape varieties. The continental climate, with cold winters and warm summers, contributes to wines with high acidity and excellent aging potential.

The region is especially known for its rare grape varieties and distinctive winemaking techniques. White wines are primarily made from Savagnin and Chardonnay, while reds come from Poulsard, Trousseau, and Pinot Noir. Jura is particularly famous for its “Vin Jaune” (yellow wine), which is aged for several years under a layer of yeast (voile), resulting in a nutty, complex flavor. The region also produces the sparkling Crémant du Jura and the sweet Vin de Paille. Jura offers a wine world of its own, defined by tradition, character, and authenticity.
