“Les Voisines” comes from 2 hectares of Chardonnay spread among four parcels in Arbois: Curoulet, En Flandre, Les Corvées and La Platière, with soils ranging from gravelly marl to calcareous marl to blue marl. The fruit is pressed whole-cluster and fermented in well-used barrels of varying sizes, where the wine spends 18 months on the fine lees. The barrels are kept full, in the ouillé style, and the finished wine displays bristling minerality unaccented by oxidative elements.

Jura

Its geographical isolation has helped it to remain a rare bastion of traditional winemaking techniques, and today it produces some of the most distinctive wines in the world. Reds from the Jura are often light-bodied, earthy, berried, and reminiscent of the village wines of Burgundy (though here they are made of local grapes like Poulsard and Trousseau). The true specialty of the region,...
