ORIGIN

TERROIR

We are in the Jura, a magical land that is distinguished by its Vin de Paille. The climate is semi-continental and the alternation of contrasting seasons is influenced by the presence of the mountains, which influence temperatures, winds and rainfall. The Jura is divided into four zones: the plain, the plateaus, the high mountains and the area known as Revermont. Here, the insolation is rather limited and therefore the exposure of the vineyards, located on 40% slopes, is fundamental.
The winter is long but not particularly harsh, with damp, foggy days alternating with others of cold, dry wind, sometimes dangerous for the vines. The soils in the southern area are rocky and warm, consisting of limestone with clays and marls, which are particularly suitable for growing vines, partly because they facilitate the ripening of the grapes about ten days earlier than those grown in the more northern areas.
The central area has clay and marl soils that give wines that are sapid and mineral. In the north, on the other hand, the heavier marls and clays, which are more difficult to work with, disadvantage the black grape varieties, which are unable to produce well-structured reds.
The most cultivated vines are Savagnin, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Poulsard and Trosseau.

WINERY

Jérôme Arnoux has been a winegrower almost since childhood, when he helped his neighbour in the vineyards. An important milestone was the ten years he spent in the cellars of Stéphane Tissot. Today, Jérôme cultivates 17 hectares of his own vineyards and purchases other grapes from established winegrowers. His wines have been recognised on the national and international scene.
Crémant du Jura is appreciated for its intense and complex aromas, discreet structure but above all for its vibrant freshness.
