Style – Aromatic + Textured

The Jura is one of the smallest wine regions in all of France, located in the far East of France, sandwiched between Burgundy to the West and the Swiss boarder to the East. The region is characterised by its rich history, it’s mosaic of limestone and marl soils, traditional winemaking practices, native grape varieties and innovative winemakers. From powerful Savagnins & Chardonnays, to wild, bracing Poulsards, delicate Pinot Noirs and vibrant Trousseaus. The wines from the region are energy-charged and exciting. The region is full of winemakers exploring new and innovative methods whilst also respecting tradition.

The mention of the word ‘Jura’ often has lovers of natural wine clambering for the highly-sought after bottles produced by some of the most iconic winemakers; Pierre Overnoy, Emmanuel Houillon, Jean-François Ganervat, Phillipe & Tony Bornard, Julien Labet, Stéphane Tissot- to name just a few. Bottles produces by some of these makers are almost impossible to get your hands on these days, others we will get in tiny supply. So, keep your eyes peeled!

Didier & Jules Grappe
Pif Purple 2024

Another of Didier's wines from hybrid vines, here using the white Seyve Villard in a co-fermentation with the red Léon Millot varietal. It is amazing to see how this wine takes on the characteristics of a Jura red regardless. It has the translucent appearance, ethereal quality and exotic aromatics one might associate with the more expressive examples of Trousseau or Poulsard. Find out more.

Didier & Jules Grappe
Tohu Bohu 2023

Barrel notes are balanced, but can be picked up on immediately - that rich butterscotch, coconut sort of character that feels to intensify the fruit. Lemon is oily, or like a dense lemon curd; bruised orchard pears, a marmalade-y pithiness and concentration and a deep-set, struck match reductions that coils off and melds into the electric acids.
