Gourmet products local specialties and wines Jura

This shop was created more than 20 years ago by an association of milk producers' cooperatives from the Jura and Doubs regions. It presents carefully selected products. A prime example of the local produce of the Comtois region, with all the best specialities: charcuterie, wines, soft drinks, cakes, jams... You will find everything! The Ali Baba's cave of regional products. You can also make gifts, they make superb baskets. This shop has a website that allows you to order online.

Farmers for 5 generations in the heart of the village of Cosges, Ferme de Suzie is a family-run farm that has been involved in regenerative agriculture for over five years now, working intensively on its carbon footprint and animal welfare. Brothers Emmanuel and Olivier Lamard produce milk, cereals and, more recently, delicious yoghurts, cream desserts and fromage blanc. Every flavour is natural and rigorously selected. Even the caramel is homemade. An absolute must when you visit Bletterans!

Beekeeper Julien Compagnon produces honey and pollen from his local hives, as well as gingerbread, nougats, candies and cosmetics. His "workers" have made a name for themselves, earning the "Made in Jura" label. But these exceptional products are not the only ones to win awards, as was the case at the Concours Général Agricole 2023, with a double silver medal for fir and mountain honey.

The Lombard Bar nestles in the vaulted cellar of the former Lombard cheese dairy. Here, or on the terrace, you can sample one of the hundred or so local beers available on the shelves. Aperitif boards are also available, as is a "resto'casionnel" serving meals (by reservation only). And Le Lombard Bar is also a boutique where you can buy a wide range of regional products. In short, we love this warm and friendly place, which brings the village and surrounding area to life from the very first fine days of the year.

If you're a yogurt lover, La Sablière is for you! They concoct no fewer than 18 flavors, with no coloring or preservatives, and fruit coulis prepared on site. Lucie and Mickaël Poncet are particularly concerned with animal welfare and the quality of the milk from their 35 Montbéliard cows grazing on 50 mountainous hectares. They have been selling locally for a long time, but the opening of their store was crowned by the award of the Trophée de l'Agriculture. You'll also find white cheese faisselles, chocolate and vanilla dessert creams.

Fromagerie Poulet has four generations of expertise, mastering the entire cheese-making process, right through to maturing. Already well known to gourmet fans in Granges-sur-Baume, it opened the doors of a pretty boutique in Lons-le-Saunier in 2014. Here, she sells her delicious products: Jura tomme, raclette, morbiers and comtés. Other specialties from local and regional producers line the shelves. You'll also find the best Jura wines, homemade terrines, fir tree honey, Morteau sausage... at very attractive prices.

Clément Goubard's Nocturne is intriguing in more ways than one. The brewer makes his beverages at night, according to the lunar cycles (and the advice of his grandfather, who always drank this way). Clément had intended to make wine, but - faced with the vagaries of the weather - preferred the relative security of a brewery. The organic orientation was obvious (returnable glass, green electricity, water management...). 5 references, including a "Stout de garde" with highly roasted barley, and a surprising "Efi" which benefits from a maceration of lemony plants.

Julien Favret and Laure's beekeeping philosophy can be summed up in an environmental reason and the satisfaction of working for oneself. The beekeepers have occupied an old sawmill since 2013 and built their honey house the following year, all dressed in wood. The 200 hives have been awarded the "Miel de montagne du Jura" designation. The "mountain flowers" and "fir/forest" nectars are the result. But don't forget the "dandelion", the first harvest of the year!

Many visitors to this village of 160 souls only have eyes for "P'tit Pierre" (Pierre Chevassu). They flock from far and wide for his chocolates and pastries. The local boy returned in 1996. The talent of the Jurassian, in personalized pastries (including his galette) but especially in chocolates, has hit the spot. Monumental creations (the tower of Nozeroy, an aircraft carrier, a shovel...). Today they are available with local liquids (vin jaune, macvin, vin de paille...). The beans come from 14 different origins. A success to be meditated.

Situated on the heights of Mount Roland in Düsseldorf, this brewery claims to be the "heir" of Walter Gysin who registered the brand in 1900. Maria and Fabrice Pannaux prepare excellent beverages from their experiences in Belgium, the Czech Republic and Germany. Their beers are made according to the "German laws of purity" (water, malt, hops, yeast). 8 variants: blonde, white, amber and red, brown, india pale ale with funny names. A terrace with a small restaurant will allow you to have a pleasant break.

This wine cooperative is the youngest in the vineyard, with 17 winegrowers and some 40 hectares covering the Côtes du Jura, Etoile and Château-Chalon. The whites are the most important with 80% of the vineyard in chardonnay and savagnin. The annual production is around 2,200 hectoliters. The culture is more than reasoned, an orientation turned towards the bio since even the residues of treatment are recycled on the spot. Do not hesitate to discover the crémants du Jura. An approach of excellence for a land of character.

Yassine Amrouni created his micro-enterprise in 2014 to achieve his dream: to produce distinctive, naturally sparkling and balanced beers. An advocate of organic, his beverages are unfiltered, unpasteurized and all made from rigorously chosen ingredients. In his South Jura region, his production has successfully intensified. His recipes are made according to his favourite recipes. 4 variants are available (blonde, amber, white and brown), all certified AB by Ecocert. Finish your tasting with a panel of the most unexpected infusions.

The son of winegrowers who carried their harvest from generation to generation to the local cooperative, Jean-Michel Petit became independent in 1990. For a long time in the practice of integrated pest management with manual harvesting, he has been farming organically since 2012; chemical weeding in particular has been abolished since 2004. Each hillside of the 7 hectares of the farm is managed separately in order to respect its identity. Fascinated by the work of the vine and the wine, he sometimes organises outings to discover the terroirs, the grape varieties and the winegrowers' know-how, glass in hand, with a traditional meal at the end. This year our preference was for a 100% chardonnay crémant brut. A geyser of bubbles oriented by a vigorous cord, a nose of plums "queen claude" and a suppleness in the mouth that invites to be served again for fear of forgetting it. No, it's a joke. It will delight you in any case, even when tasted alone.

Don't look for a "standard" wine from him. For Dominique Poitou, who works with all the grape varieties of the Jura, the strength of the Revermont wines is first and foremost their unique character. Settled in Saint-Lothain since 1973, he cleared a good part of his 4 ha before planting his vineyard. He is an ambassador for the Jura region and the know-how of the region's winegrowers. The philosophy of the house is to give time to time and twenty years later, these liquid nuggets have not aged a bit. You must taste their yellow wine!

The GAEC des Chemins Verts specializes in raising Charolais and Montbéliarde calves and heifers, as well as free-range pigs. Every month, we offer packages of fresh or prepared meat for sale. A wide range of high-quality products! If you'd like to experience a farm experience of your own, you can visit the farm and watch the calves being milked or fed. If you'd like to extend your stay here, two log cabins are also available for tourist rental.

Located in the small village of Saint-Pierre, La Ferme de la Fruitière is a family farm specializing in goat breeding and the production of cheeses and other farm specialties made from the milk of the goats. You'll find a small store where you can buy its products: cheeses, of course, but also Jura honey, eggs and various charcuterie. You can visit the farm and enjoy a tasting session by making an appointment directly with the Saint-Laurent en Grandvaux tourist office. A gourmet activity to discover.

This cooperative was founded in 1906 and was one of the first in France. It has 130 winegrowers, 2 cellars in Arbois and 3 others in the region: Arc-et-Senans, Saint-Laurent-en-Grandvaux and Poligny (Caveau des Jacobins). Cellar visits with tastings take place in the summer. In addition, there are summer Thursdays (visits, food and wine pairing evenings), tailor-made workshops (tasting of Savagnin and vertical yellow wine) and, to conclude, the discovery of the vineyards by bicycle.

For François Mossu, the love of the vine counts more than the glory. He knew how to transmit his passion to his daughter Alexandra with whom he has recently associated. They provide the best of what their vines produce. Authenticity and know-how: Mossu's straw wine, which connoisseurs call "the Pope", has been awarded many gold medals at the Concours Général de Paris, and twice the Prix d'Excellence. But the yellow wine is not in rest, its château-chalon of anthology, will delight without question the amateurs. A sure value!

Mathieu Buffard loves to cook both savory and sweet dishes. He likes to travel and bring back ideas to spice up his dishes. Spices were just the thing, and he made them his main activity. On the heights of Saint-Claude, he has set up his production workshop. He brings in his products from all over the world, paying particular attention to environmentally-friendly sources and the remuneration of human labor. He transforms spices into surprising blends. It's not magic, but know-how.

Starting in 1988, Gérard Villet was already banking on organic farming. He became the first winegrower in Arbois to choose this approach, following in the footsteps of Pierre Overnoy. This relationship with the environment and the objective of quality have always animated him with accessible prices. Which is far from always being the case! The estate occupies 5.4 hectares in 7 clos: Les Bodines, Petit Genevret, Les Corvées, Les Nouvelles... The Villet's also work in a spirit of conviviality. The wines are certified by Ecocert. All the Jurassian panoply is there as well as the famous yellow wine.

In the center of Poligny, a very contemporary shop does not only sell cheeses. If the store's decay and sign changed, its original vocation remained the same: wine and cheese. There are 90% of biologic and natural wines, including the best of the Jura (yellow wine, macwine, savagnum savagnum…). Other regional nectars (sauces, monbazillac, champagnes, Burgundy wines, whiskies and rheus of the world, absinthes…) are presented by a passionate wine cellar. Very elegant packages are for all budgets. On the cheese factory side, six county affinations are honored (from 6 to 24 months). The sheep and many other local cheeses are declared in quality. The sausage of Morteau and the Upper Doubs sausage are the most popular. These treasures of the soil taste on the plates at the same time as the wine tasting at the counter. A favorite place for gastronomers looking for safe values and wise advice about Jura or other products! The best way to make the right choices.

This is a very well-stocked gourmet shop. But more than a shop, here you can make your own local compositions according to your budget and moreover with a wise advice of Laure Legrand. You will be spoilt for choice with baskets and platters to order for mâchons or apéritifs. All the sweet and savoury delicacies await you, such as salted meats from the Grand Vallier Farm, spreads, mushrooms, snails, cheeses, regional wines and beers, as well as cookies, waffles and gingerbread.

Fabien and Guillaume are a pair of cheese-makers with unique expertise. They make their comtés at their Pont-du-Navoy dairy, some of which are organic. You can discover a range of comtés, morbiers and tommes du Jura, as well as a whole selection of local products. A second store is located in the village of Montrond, about 30 minutes away: Au Chalet Modèle. Every Thursday, you can book a visit with the cheese-makers, who will show you the workshop and the cheese-making process.

Julien Mareschal has a solid background in different regions. Installed in 2003, he went organic in 2012. 5 ha planted in côte de Feule have been joined since 2017 by the slopes of Sous la roche, Caillot, Marcette and Ecrins. The vines are aged from 7 to 77 years allowing a multi-generational marriage. The Pupillanais likes to experiment, like this "Vénéon", a ploussard vinified in white. A music lover at his leisure, he also organises "Vinprovisations" evenings, a combination of music and commented tasting.

What kind of serenity is emerging in this area? The beautiful remains pose an invitation to conviviality and the large park with its centuries-old trees gives the same impression. The Big family has always made hospitality a golden rule. Nicole, John's daughter, perpetuates this quality, which is equal to that of the wines produced here. For 30 years, she has added her female score (40,000 to 50,000 passes/year) over ten hectares in the name L 'Etoile. Creuset of Jurassian white wines, with a minerality without comparison, they reveal themselves in a wide range. Of all times, the effervescents cut the lion's share, but the chardonnay, savagnum, straw wine and yellow wine are not left. And what to say about the home liqueur wine named Secret of Montbourgeau. By the way, Montbourgeau made up one of the five hamlets of the commune.

Since 1947, Caves Maurin de Dole has been managing no fewer than 600 wines, 400 spirits and 300 beers from all wine-growing regions. You'll find wines from the Jura, Burgundy and elsewhere. Another of the company's strengths: a fine range of whiskies, liqueurs and champagnes. And let's not forget the beer section! Located not far from the Intermarché supermarket, the store is spacious and well organized. And the advice is always sound. In short, this is a store you really must visit! One of the region's must-visit addresses.

In 1985, the Donzé couple took over the 30 goats of a colleague who was going out of business. Since then, the herd has tripled in size, as their home-made production has become so successful. The farmers also own Montbeliarde dairy cattle. And the chickens also graze around the farm. The goats' milk is transformed into crottins (fresh, semi-dry, dry, ashy), white cheeses, corks and farmhouse tomme. The prices are very reasonable. A stop for shopping is a must with this family with an exemplary welcome.

With 33 vintages of yellow wine and 31 awards, Xavier Reverchon honors the 3 generations that preceded him. His 2011 was again claveliné at the 2021 breakthrough. His 6 ha are dedicated to this exceptional product, the Savagnin. A variety that the Polinois also declines in other vintages with "Les Boutasses" or "La Réserve" for example. The soils are ploughed and the vines are free of insecticides. The unfiltered reds also have their place, including a rare red macvin since 1979. A beautiful and functional cellar that can accommodate up to 60 people.

Behind their newly created storefront, Eric and Jérôme Vichet are jamming and unjamming the bubbles. These two partners are exclusively dedicated to sparkling wines. On the one hand, they make flavoured wines with local fruit and artisanal syrups from the renowned Rième house. You will find them with grapefruit, cherry, peach, blackberry, mojito, even chestnut and lime. They also make raw sparkling wines for aperitifs, meals and desserts, including crémants. And to satisfy your cravings for bubbles, organic beer.

Located in Les Rousses in the Haut-Jura, this aperitif store is packed with goodies to taste on the spot or take away. Tasting takes place in an authentic vaulted stone cellar. The boutique offers a wide choice of products, including beers from around the world, a selection of wines and spirits, and an apéro food corner where you'll find specialties to delight your taste buds! The bistro will delight your taste buds with its tasting offer of rotating draughts, wines and over fifty beer references, accompanied by aperitif boards.

We like the friendly welcome and the judicious advice given by Cyril and Francis, the two creators of the shop. The products, well selected, reflect the regional know-how in terms of delicacies: cheeses and dairy products, craft beers, wines and honey from the Jura (among others) are honored. La Besace du Comtois also sells bread all year long and in the summer season, excellent homemade sandwiches are offered. The fame of this beautiful store, in front of the cathedral, is well justified!

Clémence Bernard, full of joie de vivre, has been devoting herself to chocolate since 2002, at a time when her grandmother's cakes made her salivate. She prefers small chocolate preparations, just like those of her grandmothers. Not very sweet, with almonds from Provence and above all not very strong. Origins Ivory Coast and Ghana. The almond paste and praline are also home-made. Orangettes, calissons, macaroons, caramels, puff pastries... The chocolate maker bites into life as she does into her chocolates, a real breath of optimism, like chocolate!

In the hamlet of Lamare, the "Gauloise blanche" has won many trophies, including the "Glorieuses de Bresse". Her farmer Rachel can be proud of it. Since 2003, she has specialised in the only bird to benefit from an AOC-AOP. Chickens, hens and capons gambol peacefully in a peaceful and secluded environment. One third of their food is found in the 8 hectares of grass, supplemented by wheat and corn without GMO that our poultry farmer cultivates. A guided tour, by reservation, and Rachel's valuable cooking tips will complete your visit.

3 generations have succeeded one another since 1956, now represented by Jean-Roger Perrod. Les Cafés Roger, an institution that offers a wide range of Arabica and Robusta coffees, whose origins are selected and respect the fair trade and organic spirit. The artisanal roasting is done in the workshop. You can attend and have a coffee prepared to your taste. At their side teas and home-made products: chocolates, biscuits, fruit paste. A wine cellar with whiskies and rums. A coffee and tea bar on the terrace where you can take a pleasant break.

Here is a place where it is good to do your shopping, but also a coffee or drink break. As you can see, this grocery store also serves as a café. You can find what you would expect from a conventional grocery store, with a warm welcome and a sense of humour. Organic products are in the majority, including the brand "Au Petit Bonheur", small fruits and medicinal or aromatic plants are processed in the village. Cheeses, creamery and vegetables, bread and pastries throughout the year. Tobacco shop, Crédit Agricole green point, fishing cards. A place of life and conviviality.

Whether outside in his beehives or inside in his laboratory, you will find Philippe Clerc in white. In overalls or in a smock. The honey of this dynasty is a long story, Philippe being the last. Between Revermont and Bresse, he deploys his 350 "houses" on 12 sites. His "workers" bequeath him spring, flower, acacia, mountain, lime and fir honeys. You will be able to taste the range including its honey sweets, the recipe of the grandfather. One will also note the will to maintain very wise prices.

The Benoit's live in rue du Chardonnay in the "world capital of Ploussard". Not a handicap we assure you. The reds account for 50% of the 6 hectare estate, including 5 climates exclusive to this grape variety. It is managed by Benjamin. He will tell you about his objectives: sustainable vineyard management with the aim of becoming organic, manual harvesting in crates, vinification in barrels except for the Ploussard (in vats), without sulphiting or fining. At the same time, maintaining tradition, respecting each vineyard, and even preserving an 80 year old Chardonnay vine!

The Valouson, with its clear, fresh water, offers all the qualities Pascal Beuque is looking for. His aquaculture farm takes care of the different stages, from breeding, growing and cutting to the finished product. The rainbow trout is the queen of the ponds here. You can buy it gutted, in fillets, smoked and even fried trout. And as our man is enterprising, he prepares derived specialities: eggs in verrine, rillettes, terrines, quenelles, velvets. In season, the frogs are the delight of the greatest tables.

Jean-Pierre and Jean-Yves Boisson are as discreet as their highly prized hillside. They will welcome you in all simplicity, including by Marie-Noëlle, Jean-Pierre's wife. The 7 hectares produce mainly whites with a unique expression. An alternation of blue marl, clay-limestone and scree. The grapes are not destemmed at the pressing. The juice is then transferred to tuns and barrels. Only one vintage is usually sold. Here, we give time to time. The "tradition" is a pearl in its category. Excellent value for money.

This downtown boutique honours the Billiotte biscuit factory, a Montbéliard artisanal company. The Comptoir des Gourmandises is the only retailer in the Jura. There are irresistible specialities such as Haut-Doubs Dries with flavoured milk cream or comté cheese. More than 45 varieties of biscuits with multiple flavours, dry or soft, are available in self-service or in assortments. Shortbread, croquettes, mini-macaroons, muffins, cookies and appetizers match the gift baskets. This delicatessen shop completes its salty and sweet range with local products made in Jura. Chocolates, palets, syrups, mustards, jellies, jams, lemonades, vinegars, wines... have naturally found their place in the delicatessen that completes the space.

Céline Mossu welcomes you in her charming store of regional products. It is in an old winegrower's farmhouse with a wine cellar look that Céline highlights the family products and the local producers. Wines, jams, honeys, syrups and other flavors of the region await you. You can enjoy the terrace with its bohemian and romantic decoration to taste the products of the store or spend an evening with family or friends! Throughout the summer, Céline organizes animated evenings in a friendly atmosphere.

This old servant goes round and round and round for a long time to come. The only "organic" mill in the Jura (Ecocert label) and the last water mill in Franche-Comté, it never ceases to amaze young and old alike. The Magdelaine family has owned it for 7 generations. But it appears in deeds in 1362, entering into the share of the local lord Eudes de Vaudrey. Built on the Cuisance, a tributary of the Loue, flanked by its paddle wheel, its stone millstone grinds the grains tirelessly to bequeath wheat, rye, spelt and buckwheat flours. Type 45 and 55, they are suitable for classic pasta or bread dough, i.e. 500 tons per year. A great merit is due to its managers for having set up a circuit with free or guided visits to transmit this memory of the medieval heritage. In the end, a visit to the "regional products" shop will satisfy even the most demanding visitors. The doors are also open on the third Sunday in June each year. Not to be missed! Including for groups who can use a reception room for 60 people.

Chantal and Jean Berthet-Bondet left everything behind in 1984, leaving their profession as agricultural engineers. In love with the Jura wines, it was in the most famous city of yellow wine that they chose to create their estate. Having no family ties to the wine industry, they built up their estate plot by plot. 15 hectares now, in agrobiology since 2010, a third of which is Château-Chalon. Since 2018, their daughter Hélène has joined them. The white wines, including the famous yellow wine, and other wines, whether or not they are oaked, largely occupy the barrel. A warm welcome guaranteed.

Sumptuous vaulted and ribbed cellars will not let your visit without reaction in this splendid domain. They date from the 16th century and give a foretaste of what awaits you. Annie and Jean-Luc settled here in 1991. Today, the couple owns 11 hectares, mainly of white wines, including the most famous AOC Château-Chalon. A particularity here: the yellow wines are matured in the attic! The Mouillards favour above all varietal wines. On the red side, we really appreciated this "Cousin", a cousin of the macvin, made with fine grapes.

Marion Mathez joined her fellow farmer Adrien Poncet in 2018. Not to work with him, but to create her "Mamellerie", her organic cheese factory that she opened after training at the organic ENIL in Poligny. Since then, she has been making 1,000 organic yoghurts a day in her laboratory (flavoured, two-layer, stirred), as well as butter, 10 kg of cream, 100 kg of fromage blanc and faisselles. She sells everything directly, including whole milk. The next step is ice cream. The dairywoman has opened her shop. She is also present at the Germigney market.
