Organic stores Jura

Founded in 1953 by the Martin family, this is a 34-hectare estate. A forerunner in organic viticulture in 1999, it is now a biodynamic estate. The wines are matured mainly in wooden barrels in three large cellars, each 70 m long. The methods used in their production produce a full range of Jura wines of remarkable finesse and elegance, offering unforgettable tasting moments. The estate's staff welcome you to visit the cellars by appointment, and the boutique is located in the heart of Arbois for wine tasting.

Anne-Sophie Soulaliou had the excellent idea to open a 100% organic grocery store. In the center of the village, in this charming store, you will find a wide range of mainly local products, some of them in bulk. The fruits and vegetables follow the seasons, often grown in the department. Whether they are liquids or solids, short circuits are a priority in their selection. The well-stocked shelves are regularly enriched. A good address.

Carine is a producer of plants and herbs in organic agriculture. She lives in the mountains, in the small village of Montagnat-le-Reconduit, a few kilometers from Saint-Amour. She is also a distiller of spirits and delicious absinthes using a traditional still. She sublimates her plants in various delicatessen products: oils, salts and sugars with plants, spreads... and proposes the sale of plans according to the season. These marvels can be found in several producer's stores in the area.

Like its counterparts, the Biocoop des Grandvalliers only sells organic and fair trade products, refusing GMOs. Highlighting about forty regional producers, 5 market gardeners and 4 bakers. 150 references are listed, food, cosmetics, baby specialties and cleaning products. Most can be obtained in bulk. The store stands out with the selection Bio je peux, references of current consumption at small prices, in order to twist the received idea that the bio is accessible only to the well-to-do wallets.

Philippe Chatillon is an artisan winemaker in the noblest sense of the term. From the soil to the glass, everything is sweat, observation, care and patience to reach the Grail. The harvest is sorted and carried out manually. The juice is neither fined nor filtered and is even bio-harmonized. Lovers of originality will find gamay and the confidential red-tailed melon from his vineyard in Côtes-du-Jura with aromatic power and a lacy mouthfeel.

Since its opening, this space reserved for organic products has not stopped evolving. The range of products is regularly enriched. The promotions according to the season are always as attractive and the prices well studied. Local products, short circuits and young producers are given priority and are highlighted in this beautiful space. Charlotte and Lucas are always there to advise and serve you, for better eating and living. The house works with associations that intervene to help people in difficulty, or injured by life.

If the stones of Nevy are appreciated, its wines are no less so. The Courbet estate was only 4 years old when its illustrious namesake, the painter, died in 1877. The estate was devoted to mixed farming. Jean-Marie gave it its full measure. He passed the baton to his son Damien, just long enough for him to learn the ropes. Damien is now at the head of 7.5 hectares of the most envied vineyards in Château-Chalon: "Sous-roche", "Puits Saint-Pierre", "Sur Lyo", "Les Isles"... A perfectionist, the winegrower has now turned his vineyard into a biodynamic one.

This is one of the 2 boutiques of the Fruitière du Temps Comté, the production workshop and store of the same name being located in Pont-du-Navoy. In the spotlight: Comté cheese (4 different ages), but also butter, cream and fromage blanc, all from the fruitière. Alongside them, the AOP franc-comtoises (cancoillotte, tomme du Jura...), yoghurts, charcuterie, wines, liqueurs, cured meats, honeys and jams. Not forgetting specialities from other regions.

The adventure of Bérengère and Eric began in 2007. Their vines are growing in Gevingey. Organic since 2012, the estate cultivates chardonnay, savagnin, pinot noir and poulsard. All the vintages are single-variety and from vines over 35 years old. The duo favours fruity and fresh wines. The winemaking is done by Eric. He keeps the fermentation at a low temperature, to respect the balance of sugar, acidity and alcohol. The crémant regularly matures for more than 20 months on laths. The liqueur wine is only made with "fine", not marc.

Suzanne Petite and her husband bought this 5 ha estate in 2009. Claude Charbonnier was a pioneer in organic farming 30 years ago and one of the first to obtain the certification. The Clos des Grives, classified as Ecocert, a very strict label, does all its harvesting by hand so that each bunch is sorted. The vinification, in accordance with the standards, is carried out in the cellars of the estate by the cellar master Michel Monnoyeur. Here, all the emblematic productions of the Jura in the Côtes-du-Jura appellation have their place, from Savagnin to Vin Jaune.

Christelle and Gilles Wicky started their wine business in the heat wave of 2003. In search of aromas, the spirit of the land and the fruity taste, they immediately oriented their estate to organic farming. Their 4.50 hectares are certified since 2010. The wines, mainly white Côtes-du-Jura, contain no inputs, no filtration and little or no fining. The yields do not exceed 30 hl/ha. The juices remain in wood for 18 months for the chardonnay, and between 4 and 6 years for the voile wines. Ask to try "Le clos de Jerminy", it is the favourite of our 2 winegrowers.

Evelyne and Pascal Clairet are passionate. They show their profession of winegrower and chose to work their 6 hectares in certified organic culture and in biodynamy. Different grape varieties are represented, all the red and white wines of Arbois are produced, for more or less long maturation. It is possible to discover their wines in the tasting cellar, but also, in summer, at the Bistrot de la Tournelle in their garden. Wrought iron chairs and tables, overlooking the Cuisance, old stones, some tapas to nibble and their wines.

The Bourdy family can boast of being one of the oldest winegrowing families in France, having settled between 1475 and 1500 in this commune, which was owned by the Dukes of Burgundy for a long time. Since then, 15 generations have succeeded one another under the vaults of the 16th century cellars. They also secretly keep the oldest recipe for macvin, the one of the canonesses of Château-Chalon who had copied it on parchment. It contained no less than 25 spices! Since 2010, the farm is certified "biodynamic" (Demeter).

François Rousset-Martin took over his great-grandfather's estate 15 years ago, after graduating in oenology. His 10 hectares, 70% of which are planted with Savagnin, extend over Château-Chalon, and include some of the most highly-rated vineyards: Sous Roche, Puits Saint-Pierre, Clos Bacchus, etc. Having delivered his harvest to the Voiteur cooperative for several seasons, the strong personality of this winegrower could only lead him to work alone. An advocate of organic farming, the professional also takes his inspiration from the lunar calendar, respecting the parcels of land. He has also abandoned filtration and sulphiting.

Au Bon Local lives up to its name. This grocery store offers a large choice of healthy products in an ethical approach. Mainly organic, local and good! A range of products from cheeses to cookies, yoghurts, meats, delicatessen and breads. But also vegetables and fruits in season, drinks and wellness products. A local store that wants to be as close as possible to its suppliers and customers, promoting the reduction of packaging with the sale in bulk; and the short circuit since the products are from a radius of 60 km!

Here is a shop for tea, coffee or herbal tea lovers, and also for fine wines. Isabelle and Philippe Dubois left the restaurant business to create this specialised shop. The range of products is very rich, 80 teas, a dozen coffees with rare origins. Many of them come from fair trade and organic farming. At the back of the shop, a space is reserved for traditional, organic and natural wines. Accessories related to these allow useful gifts. Also a tea room, small tables will allow you to take a break in the open air.
