Jura. The territory, the winemakers, the wines – [second edition] | François Morel and Samuel Cogliati

In a few years, the Jura region has earned a prestigious position among the great French terroirs. Deservedly so.

Not that this territory was asleep, but for a long time it occupied a marginal place in French oenology. It was probably penalized by its geographical location and the modest size of its various appellations, as well as by the peculiarity of its wines, among which the vin jaune is undoubtedly the most original. Today, the dynamism, spirit of emulation, and creativity of the winemakers outline a new scenario and a renewed interest from the public and critics. In this updated and expanded edition, François Morel, one of the most authoritative wine writers in France, guides us along with Samuel Cogliati on a brief, agile, and concrete journey through Jura.
