  • About
The Jura wine-growing region is undoubtedly the smallest in France. Small in area, but high in quality. Like many wine-growing regions, Jura has had its troubled times, in particular the phylloxera crisis at the end of the nineteenth century, which led to this region being crossed off the French wine menu. Through work and self-sacrifice, 1850 hectares were replanted. This work was rewarded in 1936 when the registered appellation Arbois AOC was obtained.
