Discovering the wine region of Franche-Comte

Franche-Comté is the regional PGI title covering both still and Sparkling wines from a large mountainous region in eastern France. The region is made up of the departments of Haute-Saône, Doubs and Jura, the latter of which is home to the Jura wine region and many appellations d'origine contrôlée (AOC) such as Arbois. The PGI offers more freedom to the region's winemakers, both geographically and in terms of winemaking. The Franche-Comté region - one of France's 27 official regions - borders Switzerland.

The wine region of AlsaceLies to the North, while the vineyards of Savoy occupy the Alps to the South. Burgundy lies to the west and has had a significant impact on the style of wines produced here: mainly from Pinot Noir, Gamay and Chardonnay, as well as the Swiss grape Poulsard. The terrain in Franche-Comté is dominated by the Jura Mountains which separate France and Switzerland. These mountains are formed of Jurassic limestone, which has given rise to the clay-limestone soils found throughout the region.

Discover the grape variety: Roussette d'Ayze

Roussette d'Ayze is one of the secondary grape varieties used in the production of Ayze wines. It is grown only in the Arve Valley, in the communes of Marignier, Ayze and Bonneville, covering a total area of approximately 22 hectares. If its grapes are white at the beginning, they gradually turn golden, until they are ripe. Despite the juicy pulp of the Ayze roussette, it is not sufficiently aromatic and the wine it produces is of average quality, which is why it is considered more effective in the production of sparkling wines. The cultivation is fruitful and somewhat rapid, provided of course that this variety is not exposed to grey rot or mildew.
