The Gahier family has been around since only 1525 and with 6.5 hectares in the village of Montigny-les-Arsures they are one of the more reputable names in the Jura.

Gahier harvests and vinifies his wines parcel by parcel. Each wine ultimately is derived exclusively from a single vineyard site. The whites are classic versions; a testament to the old traditions of the Jura where the whites are left in barrel without “topping up”. The viticulture is organic (although not “certified”). There is a period of cold maceration followed by a cuvaison of approximately one month with some pigeage done in the initial parts of the process. The wines, both white and red, are aged in old foudres and barrel and bottled without filtration.
