Echoing “Petit Chapeau,” this wine is for the rare-grape fanatic who wants to explore—or take a deep dive into—Jura’s character. It is also the first bottling of Savagnin Vert for Domaine la Grapp’A. This is a very tantalizing wine, with a little more volume than the other Savagnin produced at the estate. It encapsulates all the sincerity one can find in a great Jura wine. A benchmark.

Aurelie Parla and Julien Maublanc created Domaine la Grapp’A with their first vintage in 2021. Although they are not newcomers since the 7ha vineyards has been in Julien’s family for generations. Based in the small village of Abergement-le-Grand 5kms outside of Arbois, they have been working organically for the past 15 years, but all their vineyards were contracted to the local cooperative (or fruitiere vinicole as it is called in the Jura). The vineyards are in immaculate conditions and although they are not born winemakers or learnt with famous names, they surely know how to farm! They have excellent plot around Arbois and Buvilly.
