Jura, France · Red Wine · Light Bodied

Clos Maire is a blend of Pinot Noir and Trousseau, two grapes that both run pale and neither of which has much interest in weight. Together they give something bright and red-fruited with a savoury undertow, the tannins soft and the acidity doing most of the structural work. Michel-Henri and Françoise Ratte have farmed these vines organically and biodynamically since 1989, twenty-six years of that while the fruit still went to the Arbois cooperative. They began bottling for themselves in 2015 and their son Quentin now works alongside them. Serve it cool and it will do rather more than you expect of it.

Pairing Suggestions

Soft tannin and bright acid handle sweet-savoury glazes: claypot rice with lap cheong.
In Arbois it would sit beside cured ham or chicken cooked in vin jaune.

About Domaine Ratte

Domaine Ratte is the passion project of Michel-Henri and Françoise Ratte, a powerhouse husband-and-wife duo redefining tradition in Arbois, Jura. Their wines are deeply rooted in respect for their land and their craft. With 9 hectares spread across revered sites like Les Corvées, Grand Curoulet, and la Bergère, the domaine is a mosaic of Jura terroir. The vines, passed down from Françoise’s family, have been farmed organically and biodynamically since 1989, long before it was fashionable. The lineup is a love letter to Jura’s native grapes: Savagnin, Chardonnay, Trousseau, Ploussard, and Pinot Noir. Now joined by their son Quentin, the Ratte family continues to champion low-intervention winemaking, letting the vines do the talking. For Michel-Henri and Françoise, it’s not just about making wine - it’s about creating something timeless.
