Discovering the wine region of Jura
Narrow 80 km French wine strip between Salins and Saint-Amour (~1,850 ha), marl and limestone soils, semi-continental climate. Savagnin is the signature native white: dry and intensely oxidative with green walnut, curry, yellow apple, dried flowers, dried fruits and saline finish, aged under a yeast veil (vin jaune style in the iconic 62 cl clavelin). Chardonnay (50%) as fresh white; light Poulsard and spiced Trousseau as ethereal reds. Crémant, vin de paille, Macvin.
Discover the grape variety: Garanoir
Supple and fruity reds with a purple colour and melted tannins, on aromas of cherry, raspberry, blackberry, sweet spices and floral notes. Round palate, fresh finish, more tender and approachable young than its sibling Gamaret. Vinified as a thirst-quenching single variety and in modern red blends with Gamaret, Gamay and Pinot Noir in Swiss Romandy (Vaud, Geneva, Valais). A cross of Gamay × Reichensteiner created in 1970 at the Pully station, same lineage as Gamaret.
