Jura

JurA white wines: where

freshness meets chArActer

in 1632, the maire family began making wine in arbois. today, this name represents one of the most important estates in the Jura.
on this 340-hectare estate, 218 are planted with local varietals Savagnin, trousseau, and Poulsard, along with Chardonnay and
Pinot noir, “cousin” vines from neighboring Burgundy. a plot-by-plot approach ensures the production of great wines, as only the
cooler climates can produce.
the range of whites is divided into two expressions: Grand minéral and Héritage, produced from the Savagnin and Chardonnay grapes.

GRAND MINERAL
these wines offer great freshness. they are light and elegant, revealing all the mineral potential of the Jura,
and they enjoy short ageing of two to three months in stainless-steel vats on fine lees to preserve their youthful
characters.
