Winemaker Catherine Hannoun of Domaine de la Loue has an interesting story. She was a film producer who fell in love with the Jura while shooting the wine documentary 'Mondovino' with Jonathan Nossiter. After the completion of the project, Catherine returned to the region in 2009 to eventually start winemaking in Port-Lesney, north of Arbois, in the northernmost area of the Jura bordering the Doubs. Her domain is named after the river Loue, which therefore marks the natural border between the Jura and Doubs départements.

Located in eastern France, the Jura wine region has emerged as a notable spot for natural winemaking, drawing attention for its minimal intervention practices. Despite its cooler climate, Jura is currently "hot" in the wine world, particularly for those valuing artisanal approaches. It's distinguished by unique soils like limestone and marl, enriching its wines with distinct minerality. The region champions native grapes such as Savagnin, Trousseau, Poulsard, and Chardonnay, which thrive here. Small-scale production is key, ensuring each bottle reflects Jura's unique terroir and winemaking philosophy, blending tradition with innovation.
Jura
Trousseau is a light-skinned grape variety with origins in the Jura region of France, where it is valued for producing pale red wines with a distinctive savory and spicy character. Known locally as Bastardo in Portugal and increasingly gaining attention in California, particularly in regions seeking lighter-bodied reds, Trousseau yields wines that are often marked by bright acidity and earthy undertones. Its aromas can range from red berries and cherries to forest floor and a peppery spice, making it a unique and intriguing variety for those seeking something beyond the more common red grapes.
