Have you ever visited somewhere so characterful and unspoilt that you’re torn between telling everyone and keeping it to yourself? Jura is that sort of place. At first sight, its unfamiliar wine styles and eclectic ranges of idiosyncratic micro-cuvées are hard to get your head around.

But the closer you look, the more compelling they become.

This is a haven of original, joyous, artisanal wines – from whites with an explosive, tangy intensity that can take your breath away to ageworthy, oxidative vins jaunes, fresh and earthy red wines, delicious crémants, sweetly saline vins de paille and Macvin, Jura’s unique liqueur.
