Intense wildflowers, notes of freshly cut straw, and crunchy macadamia nuts, all supported by singing minerality. The l'Étoile AOC is something of an outlier in the Jura; it’s comprised of only 75 hectares and rarely sees export outside of France. Domaine

A very pretty rosé from the French Alps. Bright, red fruit aromas are there to greet you. Fresh flavors of sour cherry and rose petals with an elegant texture and bubbles. Great as an aperitif or after dinner with any sort of fruit or cheese.

Jacques has now retired, and this, his Trousseau, was widely considered his top wine…and this is the last vintage. Special stuff. Not to get preachy, but if you grab one, please keep it in your wine fridge until a special occasion!

The “Pope of Arbois” retired in 2015. There appears to be a secret library of back vintages hidden in some alternative dimension, so when the portal opened, we reached through…and found these. To be labeled Vin Jaune, the cantankerous Savagnin is late-har

This is an incredibly well balanced Savagnin, with subtle Brazil nut, fresh sage, nectarine and lemon, with a structure that almost feels tannic. The wine remains clean, however, with acidity and freshness to balance everything out. Ouillée wines are not

The Overnoy and Crinquard families have managed their poly-culture farm of cereal grains, livestock (we’re told they make remarkable cheese) and vines for several generations. They have just 1 hectare of Trousseau, so this is a tiny production wine. Fine

Like all of Jacques’s whites, Cuvée Sacha spent about 2 years in barrel sous voile. The blend varied from year to year but was usually about 60% Chardonnay…I’m assuming this is the case with this bottling. We don’t even really know how old this wine is, s

Philippe is the sixth-generation winemaker at this estate located in l’Étoile. The family focus has always been limited yields and sustainable agriculture. A pale, peppery and ebullient Poulsard with berry fruit and earth.

Joseph tends only 3 hectares of vines in the sleepy little village of Vadans. He’s friends with Michael Gahier though (a store favorite producer), so you know the wines are the real deal. Trousseau shows a youthful vivacity in the yellow-marl soils of thi

The legendary Jacques Puffeney has passed his “Serious Jura Reds” torch to Les Matheny’s Emeric Foléat, who studied with the master for years. The perfect hint of VA opens, with a complex array of red fruits, fresh earth, and more structure than most Poul

Emeric Foléat worked for the legendary Puffeney for 8 years. Rather than making strictly sous-voile or ouillé wines, Emeric and his wife Elise let each harvest and parcel speak year to year, adjusting blends and elavage purely on intuition. This Chard, in
