This wine comes from a west-facing vineyard with chalky soil. Just three barrels - under bottles - were made this year. The nose has some stone fruit and a hint of reduction. The exposure to the late-afternoon sun gives a generosity and warmth to the mid-palate, before the limestone soil makes its presence felt in a saline, chalk-inflected finish.

It was founded in by Pierre Jeannin and has remained in the family ever since. The Domaine owns vineyards covering around 9 hectares of land and is primarily planted with indigenous Jura grape varieties such as Savagnin , Chardonnay , Poulsard, and Trousseau.

The area is dramatically beautiful, as much for its sub-alpine landscape as for its remarkable wines, which draw on an essentially continental climate, a multi-faceted and varied terroir limestone crowns over blue, red and grey marl , and indigenous varietals of Savagnin, Trousseau and Poulsard, alongside Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
