The wine region of Arbois

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.

The wine region of Jura

Unique Franche-Comté region between Burgundy and Switzerland, incomparable oxidative identity. Signature mythical Vin Jaune from Savagnin: aged 6 years 3 months in cask under flor, intense whites with signature green walnut, curry, cumin, russet apple, honey and lingering iodine — 62 cl clavelin, century-long ageing. Also classic topped-up Chardonnay (citrus, butter), pale light Poulsard red (strawberry, undergrowth), dense Trousseau, fine Pinot Noir. Sweet Vin de Paille.

The word of the wine: Tanin

A natural compound contained in the skin of the grape, the seed or the woody part of the bunch, the stalk. The maceration of red wines allows the extraction of tannins, which give the texture, the solidity and also the mellowness when the tannins are "ripe". The winemaker seeks above all to extract the tannins from the skin, the ripest and most noble. The tannins of the seed or stalk, which are "greener", especially in average years, give the wine hardness and astringency. The wines of Bordeaux (based on Cabernet and Merlot) are full of tannins, those of Burgundy much less so, with Pinot Noir containing little.
