Just east of a small region called Burgundy in France is a smaller region called Jura. Here the soils and climate are very similar but it’s still a sort of hidden secret that is slowly being discovered by more and more wine lovers.

The area of Jura is very similar to Burgundy in many ways including the grapes grown. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are also grown here but local grapes such as Savagnin, Trousseau and Poulsard are also grown. Along with table wines the region produces the local Macvin and the famous yellow wines or ‘Vin Jaune’. Along with these styles the region is highly regarded for it sparkling wines.

In 2000 two families Michel Tissot and Henri Maire decided to collaborate to create special bottling from their shared region of Jura. With a focus on create the best sparkling wines in the regions they solely produce several bottlings which range in styles. In recent times the success of these wines has seen the property acquired by the Boisset Family in Burgundy.

Created in the the champagne method, based on Pinot Noir blended with Chardonnay and local Jura varieties. This wine spends over a year having a rest on its lees which adds a layer of nut and biscuit complexity. It’s drier in style with notes of honey, ripe apple and white flowers. Fully sparkling, balanced and thirst quenching, with a mineral-inflected finish.
