My Jura wine film is here! The vineyards grown in the Jura foothills of eastern France make mesmerizing wines. However, they do require a little initiation. Many of the region’s grapes are lesser known, and the oxidative, yeast-influenced style of the Jura’s most iconic wines is…an acquired taste. But, Jura wines are hugely popular with oenophiles. Curious to know why? Check out my Jura wines film.
The Jura is fascinating wine country. Despite its small size, this historic French vineyard is beloved by sommeliers the world over. I was intrigued by how a tiny, 2000-hectare vineyard gained such an ardent following. So, in 2021, I set off to eastern France to make a Jura wine film. My rockstar camera crew captured the beauty of Jura wine country and its wonderful producers. In this concise Jura wine film, we bring you all that you need to know to appreciate Jura wines – the distinctive grapes, the varied wine styles, the unique terroir, and more.
Join me as I dig in the vineyard soils with Stéphane Tissot, learn the secrets of Vin Jaune winemaking with Domaine Macle, and taste some Crémant du Jura bubblies with Domaine Baud. Tour the market of Arbois with Meilleur Ouvrier de France, sommelier Philippe Troussard to find out what foods pair best with Jura wine.
