LE FLORAL
Jura is a little piece of land located between Burgundy and Switzerland offering the smallest of the greatest French vineyards. After having been reserved to specialist wine lovers, the exceptional Jura wines are now seductively wining hearts and minds all around the world and international press.
Created in 1937, the AOC (designation of origin) of Cotes du Jura is omnipresent in the north and south of the vineyard, on varied and contrasting terroirs. It is the second leading AOC in Jura in terms of production, and it engages all five of the Jura's grape varieties.
The Chardonnay grape variety, originating from Burgundy but cultivated in the Jura since the 10th Century, has become a native of the region. Its great adaptability makes it the most prominent grape variety today, especially on limestone and light soils.
2 to 3 years.
Starting on August 28, the 2023 harvest was well anticipated, particularly for the Crémants du Jura with around 10 days of cutting which allowed to maintain good acidity and finally to obtain a magnificent harvest.
Our most qualitative grapes were the white this year: Chardonnay and Savagnin.
The reds remain on the tightrope and the choice of the harvest date was once again decisive, but here too, everything was well anticipated to offer a beautiful vintage for the reds as well!
No frost in 2023 and we would be very happy to keep this level of harvest every year as 2023 brings the volume well above a ten-year average with something reminiscent of the 2018 vintage, the benchmark vintage in the Jura regarding volumes.
