Vin Jaune is unique in the world of wine: it matures for at least six years and three months under a veil of yeast (sous voile), without topping up, until an intense, walnut-toned wine of remarkable longevity emerges.

The wine house

Domaine Grand

Jura

The Grand family have been winegrowers from father to son since 1692. Antoine and Claudine Grand laid the foundations, and in the 1970s and 1980s the brothers Lothain, Dominique and Georges expanded the estate considerably. Today Emmanuel Grand, who inherited the business from his father, runs the domaine together with his wife Nathalie, herself from a winegrowing family. They are now ten generations in. The couple made a deliberate choice to stay small. The vineyard area was reduced and the estate is now fully certified organic. Chardonnay, Savagnin, Trousseau and Pinot Noir grow here on the characteristic marls of the Jura, and the great Jura specialities are naturally all present: vin jaune, vin de paille and macvin. Worth knowing: the Savagnin wines age "sous voile", under a veil of yeast. It is a centuries-old, risky method that gives the wine its singular, gently oxidative, nutty character.
