Region of Jura
With a cultivation area of just under 2,000 hectares, Jura is one of the smallest wine-growing regions in France and is less well-known due to its size. However, the quality of the fine wines does not suffer as a result. The area, located after the mountain range in East France, on the Swiss border, has a centuries-old wine-growing tradition with its own grape varieties such as Béclan, Poulsard, Savagnin and Trouseau as well as wine specialties such as Vin Jaune and Vin de Paille. The most important appellations in the region today are Arbois, Château-Chalon, Côtes du Jura and L'Étoile.
