Le Caveau de Bacchus (Lucien Aviet & Fils)
Montigny
Bacchus as he was known affectionally in the region has been bottling wines at the domaine for decades, long before the practice was common in the Jura
Located in Montigny-lès-Arsures, the capital of Trousseau, this estate is of course renowned for this red varietal, yet also produces very fine ex- amples of Melon à Queue Rouge and superb vin jaune. Due to the tiny production and old-fashioned distribution, these wines are not easy to get by, and are among the best illustrations of old-fashioned Jura winemaking we know

François Rousset-Martin
Nevy-sur-Seille
Francois Rousset studied in Burgundy before coming back to Chateau Chalon, where his estate comprises some of the greatest terroirs of this appellation
Building on the tradition of his family for producing long-lived vin jaune, he is also a master of vinifying ouillé style wines that are rapidly gaining a cult following among France’s top sommeliers and collectors
Produced in minute quantities, they are wines of intensity, clarity and most importantly character that are likely going to get more and more difficult to find over the years

Jean-François Ganevat
La Combe de Rotalier
Perhaps the most important vigneron to have made wine in the Jura after Pierre Overnoy
Jean-Francois Ganevat was heavily influenced by the Burgundian idea of bottling wines according to their lieu-dits and giving them long elevage on their lees
Taking his ideas further, he moved to zero sulfur in 2007 (having done so for his savagnin since 1998) and has been a fervent adherent of biodynamic farming. His wines rightfully count among France’s most sought-after and redefine what is possible in this region
