Jura

Discover the vineyard

 

Come to Franche-Comté for a change of air and open yourself to new horizons!

Here you will encounter the refinement of an ancient civilised land, taste unique wines and cheeses and marvel at the many traditional crafts that have been practised for countless centuries.

The vineyards of Jura, at the heart of Franche-Comté, are among the oldest in France, covering 2,500 hectares and about 100 km.

The six appellations d'origine contrôlée (wines of guaranteed origin) are: Château-Chalon, source of Vin Jaune or yellow wine; Etoile, white wine only; Arbois, the capital of the Jura vineyards; Côtes du Jura, the generic appellation; Crémant, and Macvin, a liqueur wine produced from the must and the marc of the Jura raisin.
