JURA VINEYARD
Facing Burgundy, the preserved Jura terroir is also its geological echo.
This terroir, born in the Jurassic period, favourable to an elitist viticulture, has kept a strong authenticity.

The vineyards have a minimum planting density of 5000 vines per hectare
The grapes, which must be harvested by hand, are transported in perforated crates to preserve the integrity of the fruit, and pressed in whole bunches.
The base wines are obtained within the limit of 100 liters of must for 150 kilograms of grapes.
In order for the effervescence, called prise de mousse, to take place, the « liqueur de tirage » (blend of sugar and yeasts) is incorporated into the still base wines before bottling. Then the maturing process begins: the bottles will then age for a minimum of 12 months on slats. Finally, the riddling allows the deposit to slowly settle down and precedes the disgorging. The « liqueur d’expédition », whose recipe is a well-kept secret is then incorporated to give the final touch to the cuvée, the real signature of the winemaker. It is the dosage.
