Wine Tours in the Jura

A taste of Jura wines

Bordered by the Burgundy wine region to the west and Switzerland to the east, the small production from the Jura vineyards yields some of France’s most unusual and original wines. The region’s most famous wine is vin jaune, literally meaning “yellow wine”. Barrel-aged under a film of yeast (similar to the process for sherry), it is a rich, dry and oxidative wine. It has intense flavours of nuts, spices and a hint of the yeast veil, or sous-voile.
