First historic French AOC (1936) at the heart of the Jura: Trousseau and Poulsard signatures as light, fragrant native reds with notes of cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry and a hint of spice, fine tannins. Savagnin emblematic as an oxidative white under veil — dry and taut with notes of walnut, curry, almond and green apple, a unique Jura signature. Topped-up Chardonnay as a broad complement. Vin Jaune and Vin de Paille as age-worthy gems.
~830 ha in Franche-Comte, limestone marls.
Very light and delicate reds with an almost translucent salmon-pale colour, fine tannins and fresh acidity, on subtle aromas of wild strawberry, redcurrant, cherry, dried flowers, sweet spices and earthy notes. Airy and thirst-quenching palate. Star of the light reds of Jura (Arbois AOC, Côtes du Jura AOC), notably on the marls of Pupillin where it is called Ploussard. Also in sparkling rosés (Crémant du Jura AOC). Native Jura variety.
