The wines of the Jura are rarely mentioned, except for its legendary vin jaune. In the Middle Ages, it was already much appreciated at the court of the kings of France, and it remains a rarity today.
The ageing in oak barrels is a special art in the Jura: the wood maintains and enhances the characteristics of the dry white wines of the region in an incomparable way, which have retained their unmistakable style with their aromas of spices, nuts, dried fruit and honey over the centuries.
