Wines and spirits Saint-Lothain

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!

At La Fontaine, Dominique Grand will welcome you with simplicity and passion. A discreet professional who does not like laurels. He went organic in 2009. His 3 hectares in the Côtes-du-Jura region are devoted to white wines. The maturing under veil of the savagnin has been abandoned. The freshness and minerality are found in 3 categories: classic white in barrels, traminer-type cuvée and November harvest. The winegrower is building a solid reputation with a late harvest called "École buissonnière". Trials in red are made with the beclan, an ancient grape variety of the area.

The Bonnot dynasty has been nestled in this Cluniac site since 1936, but its influence extends far beyond the region. Thierry has been developing it since 1990. This family-run winegrowing company makes it a point of honor to put Jura wines on a pedestal, with their meticulous winemaking and state-of-the-art ageing techniques. There are more than twenty references from the region, frequently winning awards and appearing in wine guides. Thierry's fine palate and that of his son also offer more than a hundred wines from France, from hand-picked producers.

Didier Grappe is a must on the Jura wine trail. Organic since 2007, his philosophy is to work the vines as naturally as possible to extract the authentic taste from the 4 ha of his vineyard. Recognized by the most prestigious wine guides, he'll be happy to tell you all about his wines and his region. As for his hillsides, En Novelin and En Longefin, they produce some excellent cuvées. The 2013 En Longefin Chardonnay, for example, reveals a nose of white flowers and a hint of butter, ending with a lemony finish. An excellent wine.
