There is no doubt that at this moment Jura wines are very “trendy”; they are unique wines, fresh, easy to drink, with the right acidity and a strong aromatic range… in a nutshell, “Funky Wines“.
JURA: THE LAND OF WINE
The “Oxidative” wine is the symbol of the French area of Jura; it is made up of different types due to the variable permanence “sous voile” (the veil of indigenous yeasts) in drained barrels. It ranges from 2-3 years of aging, up to 6 years minimum for Vin Jaune.
Instead, the wines are vinified in the “classic” Burgundian way, that is in filled casks, they are called ” Ouillè”.
