About the Wine
Hard-to-find micro-Jura, just as we like it, care of the reclusive Thomas Jacquin. Already with a few years under its belt, this wine perfectly demonstrates the beam of acid that makes this grape so distinctive. Die-cut yellow citrus coils around honeyed notes of almond and spice.About Thomas Jacquin
Having completed his winemaking studies in Burgundy, Thomas spent half a decade under the tutelage of one of the Jura’s most learned vignerons in Stéphane Tissot, before acquiring a tiny plot in Arbois in 2017 and beginning his own project. Thomas farms just under a hectare of Poulsard, Savagnin and medicinal plants in the lieu-dit of ‘En Chamblin’. The vines face west, a real boon in the age of climate change, and are planted over Triassic marl, which lends structure and depth to his wines. He farms biodynamically, using infusions from the plants grown in the vineyard to give the vines the strength they need to survive the increasingly unpredictable Jurassic weather. In his tiny chai and cave in the village of Cramans, Thomas works with little equipment and a simple, no nonsense approach to produce decidedly old fashioned, soulful wines in a style that suggests they possess a great capacity to age.
