Jura

Not far from Burgundy lies Jura, a strikingly beautiful area renowned for its alpine landscapes and remarkable wines. Home to what is essentially a continental climate, you can find all types of wines here - many of which have been on the lips of critics and wine enthusiasts the world over, which has seen the region have a bit of a surge in popularity in recent years. The terroir offers indigenous specialty varietals like Trousseau, Poulsard – which accounts for more than half of the wine production here - and perhaps most notably Savagnin (not to be confused with Sauvignon) – which is used to make the Fino-esque Vin Jaune (or yellow wine), Jura’s cherished local wine that can be traced all the way back to the 1500s.
