Vin Jaune is Jura's most singular wine, and the 2016 from Jean-Michel is a case for why it exists. Savagnin aged for a minimum of six years under a veil of yeast, neither topped up nor touched until it develops the deep, oxidative character that no other wine in the world quite replicates: roasted almonds, dried citrus, warm spice, and a finish that stays with you for minutes.

It comes in a 620ml clavelin bottle, the traditional format, and once opened Jean-Michel says it will keep for six months. We believe him, but suspect most people won't need to test that.

About Domaine de la Renardière

The village of Pupillin plays host to Domaine de la Renardière, where Jean-Michel Petit quietly crafts some of Jura’s finest wines. Since establishing the domaine in 1990, Jean-Michel has built his 7.5 hectares into a haven for both red and white varietals, with a lineup of equal parts red (Pinot Noir, Poulsard, Trousseau) and white (mostly Chardonnay with a bit of Savagnin). Jean-Michel has been farming organically since 2003, earning full certification in 2012 - an important commitment to the vineyard. In the cellar, he keeps things rooted in tradition: native yeasts kickstart fermentation and sulfur is only used sparingly when needed, and élevage takes place in a mix of foudres for reds and a blend of older barriques and foudres for whites. The result? Wines that are vibrant, soulful, and unmistakably Jura.
