Domaine de la Pinte

Founded in 1953 by Roger Martin, Domaine de la Pinte started with 20 ha of vineyards, half of which are savagnin. Today it is 34 ha in production: 17 ha savagnin, 6 ha chardonnay, 1 ha melon à queue rouge, 7 ha poulsard, 4 ha trousseau and pinot noir. Splendid cellars with basket arches, built in the old way, in more than 3 years, with jurassic limestone of Montesserain carry. Hand harvest with 85% of the vineyard located just around the cellars. Soils: blue marl of Lias stretching from Arbois to Chateau Chalon. Organic wines since 1999 and biodynamic principles applied in the vineyard and winery since 2009.

Vin Jaune

Vin jaune (French for "yellow wine") is a special and characteristic type of white wine made in the Jura wine region in eastern France. It is similar to dry fino Sherry and gets its character from being matured in a barrel under a film of yeast, known as the voile, on the wine's surface.

Jura

A petite and relatively obscure wine region in eastern France, between Burgundy and the Swiss border. Its geographical isolation has helped it to remain a rare bastion of traditional winemaking techniques, and today it produces some of the most distinctive wines in the world. Reds from the Jura are often light-bodied, earthy, berried, and reminiscent of the village wines of Burgundy (though here they are made of local grapes like Poulsard and Trousseau). While Chardonnay features widely, the true specialty of the region is the Vin Jaune (“yellow wine”) made from the white Savagnin grape. Cloudy, difficult Vin Jaune is made only in the best vintages, and must be aged for at least six years before being released. As it ages under a layer of yeast, known locally as “voile,” the wine slowly oxidizes, leading to complex aromas and flavors that range from walnut skin to sultana to spices and truffles. Famously long lived it is always sold in dumpy 62 cl bottle - the wine lost in production having been taken by les anges.
