  • Cork Dork

    Vin Jaune (or Yellow Wine) is a very special and unique wine, only made in the Jura. Made from Savagnin grapes, which come from the Petit Curoulet lieu-dit in Arbois. The soils here are made up of blue marl, and the grapes are harvested late, for additional complexity and sugar. Direct press, with ferments occurring naturally. Aged for 6 years and 3 months in used barrels in their attic, with no temperature control. Never topped up, with a blanket of yeast (voile) forming to protect the wine. During the ageing period, some wine evaporates (known as the angels share). To compensate for this loss of wine, a special bottle called a clavelin is used, which is 620ml. 15.0% alc.

  • The Winery

    The Morin family has been working the vineyards with passion, pride and respect for over 8 generations. They have 13 ha of vineyards in the historic Arbois PDO terroir (Les corvées, Curoulet, Sur la côte, La Touraize...), and they cultivate all the Jura grape varieties: Chardonnay, Savagnin, Ploussard, Trousseau, and Pinot Noir. Thanks to the diversity of the soil (blue marl, calcareous-clay and silty-clay marls, and rich gravel on marl) and the exposure of the plots they are able to produce numerous plot-specific blends.
