Jura

Sandwiched between Burgundy in the west and Switzerland in the east, the region is characterized by a landscape of wooded hillsides and the twisting topography of the Jura Mountains.

Along with its unique vin jaune, Jura has been known traditionally for its sweet vin de paille. They do not have an appellation in their own right, but are produced under the Arbois (including Arbois-Pupillin), L'Etoile and Cotes du Jura titles. Vins jaunes may also be made under these appellations, but are at their best under their exclusive Chateau Chalon title.
