Jura wine is produced in the Jura region of France, located between Burgundy and Switzerland. This region is known for its unique terroir and distinctive wine styles, including the famous Vin jaune and Vin de paille.
History[edit | edit source]
The history of Jura wine dates back to the Middle Ages, with the region's vineyards being cultivated by monks and nobility. The phylloxera epidemic in the late 19th century devastated the vineyards, but the region has since recovered and continues to produce high-quality wines.
Geography and Climate[edit | edit source]
The Jura region is characterized by its limestone and marl soils, which contribute to the unique flavors of its wines. The climate is continental, with cold winters and warm summers, providing ideal conditions for grape growing.
Grape Varieties[edit | edit source]
Jura wine is made from several grape varieties, including:
- Savagnin: Known for its role in producing Vin jaune.
- Chardonnay: Often blended with Savagnin or used in Crémant du Jura.
- Poulsard: A red grape variety used in light red wines and rosés.
- Trousseau: Produces more robust red wines.
- Pinot noir: Also used in red wines and blends.

- Vin de paille: A sweet wine made from dried grapes.
- Crémant du Jura: A sparkling wine made in the traditional method.
