Jura wines
Dating back to Antiquity, the Jura vineyards developed considerably from the 18th century onwards, when an embryonic system of production regulation was put in place. Since the end of the 19th century, preserving wine quality has been a major concern for Jura winegrowers.

The Jura vineyards, which today cover around 1,800 hectares, are located on a terroir stretching from Salins-les-Bains in the north to Saint Amour in the south, planted at an altitude of between 200 and 400 meters. It benefits from a semi-continental climate with often abrupt climatic variations. Jura summers are generally hot and dry. Southern or south-western exposure guarantees Jura vineyards plenty of sunshine and protection from the wind. However, the microclimates are quite contrasting, depending on the changing topography and varying exposure to the sun. The soils are largely limestone, ensuring permeability and solubility that are particularly favorable to Jura grape varieties.

The Jura produces red, rosé and white wines, as well as sparkling wines such as the famous Crémant du Jura. Yellow wines, very dry and with characteristic nutty aromas, are the most emblematic of the vineyards. Three specific grape varieties dominate the Jura region: Poulsard and Trousseau for red and rosé wines, and Savagnin for whites, complemented to a lesser extent by Pinot noir and Chardonnay, inherited from nearby Burgundy. Six appellations d'origine contrôlée crown the diversity and quality of Jura wines. These include A.O.C. Arbois, A.O.C. Côtes du Jura and, of course, A.O.C. Château-Chalon, which produces exceptional yellow wines exclusively from the Savagnin grape variety.

What's more, the Jura region boasts a number of top-quality estates, including Rolet, Jean Macle, Berthet-Bondet, Montbourgeau, Stéphane Tissot, Labet and Rijckaert.

"Bubbles of pleasure to be (re)discovered!

"Apart from the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir that make up this blend, everything else is typically Jura. This Crémant has hints of yeast, tight, tangy acidity, and a perfume of orange blossom. It's ready to enjoy. (Wine Enthusiast 2021)

"The excellent Vin Jaune Arbois 2016 hits the bull's-eye on every level. Hay, dried flowers, walnuts and bread dough mingle with accents of saffron and curry. Full-bodied and concentrated, yet meticulously balanced by sharp acidity, this complex 2016 finishes long and flavorful." (Vinous 2024)

"Taste the typical Trousseau grape variety

"Of the three 2022 reds presented, our clear preference is for the Trousseau, a clear, highly expressive wine with irresistible, piquant fruit, between raspberry and wild strawberry, with no trace of ageing." (Le Guide RVF 2025)

"A fine expression of Côtes du Jura".

"A comparison of the two Tradition cuvees (same Savagnin/Chardonnay blend, same ageing protocol) is highly instructive. Both wines show a very personal style: the Arbois is more powerful, broader, more golden, richer and more marked by the taste of sail, but less refined; the Côtes du Jura is more timid at first, but finer and more elegant". (RVF Guide 2024)

"Offering a little more substance than the traditional Chardonnay of the same vintage, the 2022 Arbois En Paradis opens with notes of cedar, lemon pulp, wet stones and toast. Medium-bodied and concentrated, the 2022 is a powerful, modern expression of Jura Chardonnay. A sapid finish brings the whole to a close". (Vinous 2024)

"Chardonnay Arbois 2022 presents notes of lemon peel, candle wax and yellow apple of measured intensity. White almond adds nutty complexity. More captivating on the palate than on the nose, the 2022 ends with an elegant, playful finish." (Vinous 2024)

"This Vin Jaune is a true Gem !"

"Pale gold in color, this Vin Jaune offers an intense nose of caramel and dried fruit. Lively on the palate, it gains strength as the tasting progresses, with hints of dried fruit and dried mushrooms. The finish is long and pleasant. A consistent, classic wine for classic side dishes, such as Bresse chicken with yellow wine". (Le Guide Hachette 2025)

Aged for 6 years and 3 months, Domaine Badoz Château-Chalon has an intense nose, with notes of walnut, green apple and spices. Suave and unctuous, the palate is also ample and harmonious.

"An original, well-balanced Chardonnay that will appeal to all those who love discovery!"

A Chardonnay-based product, Arrogance takes us on a journey right from the nose, which opens with delicate notes of hazelnut, dried straw and acacia. The discovery continues on the palate, with honeyed aromas, accompanied by small white fruits, a roundness that balances out with citrus notes and a saline touch on the finish.

"Superb Trousseau with lovely potential!"

"A month and a half of maceration from a harvest made on September 20, 2022: if time has been given to this Trousseau, it gives back well. Firstly, with its magnificent cherry-red color and violet highlights, then with its ripe, powerful nose, and finally with its ample, round and fresh palate, with fleshy yet very fine tannins. Full-bodied, with a bright future". (Le Guide Hachette 2024)

"All the elegance and delicacy of Château-Chalon".

Château-Chalon En Beaumont 2017 presents a beautiful golden yellow color, with a nose of nuts, dried fruit and peat. Elegant and delicate on the palate, with a peaty structure. Ideal with a Bresse chicken with morels, it will also be perfect with a very good Comté...

"A great vintage!"

"After a 2015 that was perhaps more hedonistic than usual, the 2016 Château-Chalon stands out as a brilliant archetype, sharp without harshness, triumphing not in power but in persuasiveness and depth of taste." (Le Guide RVF 2025)

"A little gem in a bottle!"

Cuvée Tradition matures under sail for 2 years to delight our palates with singular aromas of walnut, spice and cookie. The presence of a majority of Chardonnay rounds out the powerful expression of Savagnin. The whole is a great success, a perfect balance that goes perfectly with parsleyed snails.
