Cuvée Jurassique!!! It says it on the tin—flying the regional flag with brio. Made from Chardonnay grown on calcaire à gryphées, a fossilized oyster bedrock, the profile is dynamic and chiseled, packed with citrus, flint, and spring blossom. Perfect for discovering what Jura whites in the ouillé style are all about.

Each plot of Jean-Michel's is hand-picked and fermented separately using native yeasts. He uses a mixture of inox tanks (for vinification) and wood of varying sizes for ageing – 228 litre, 500 litre and foudres – for ageing both of his reds and whites. His Crémant is also made using foudres. Jean-Michel works with Savagnin that is made both under flor (sous-voile) and topped up (ouillé). There are no additions in the cellar, bar the possible use of some sulphur at bottling. However, he is using less every vintage.
