Lulu Vigneron Vin Jaune 2010

Jura, the region separated from Burgundy to its west by the Saone river and Switzerland to the east is an extraordinary area, think lakes and green rocky valleys. The Jura produces wines of seriously engaging character such as vin Jaune which is created with the fruit of the lesser-known variety of green-skinned Savagnin.  However the Jura is largely dominated by varieties such as Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. It's famous for producing oxidative wines with sherry-like characteristics which seem to cast a spell on those who are predisposed to the style. It's the home of Comte cheese. We strongly recommend the wines of Domaine Tissot & Lulu Vigneron ( previously Les Chais du Vieux Bourg)
