Ep 79 My Trip to France: Jura Wine 101
Ever tasted a wine so unique that you either absolutely love it or completely hate it?
I was first introduced to Jura wine at a French wine shop here in Seattle. I saw a bottle of Savagnin and asked the wine clerk how is this different from Sauvignon Blanc?
The owner said I had to try it and people either love it or hate it! I ended up loving the unique wines of Jura and I knew that Jura would be a stop on my dream vacation trip.
Today, we are exploring Jura’s unique grape varietals, how the phylloxera epidemic shaped today’s Jura vineyards, and the rare winemaking techniques that produce Jura’s distinctive oxidative wines.
I’m also sharing tips for visiting Jura, from must-see subregions to the gorgeous town of Château-Chalon. I'll also share my personal winery experience at Domaine BAUD - Génération 9 and the exceptional wines that left a lasting impression.
So, if you are ready to go on a journey through a lesser known region with unique grapes and age-old winemaking traditions that create some of the most distinctive wines you’ve never heard of, then today’s episode is for you.
