Old-vine Savagnin on grey marl aged for three years in barrel on the lees.

Jean-François creates a stunning number of cuvées, ranging between 35 and 40 every year! His methodology goes far beyond the details of the average vigneron. He is committed to minute doses of sulfur, so low in fact, that many fear it hurting the wines during transport. He curbs this issue entirely by aging many of his whites on the lees for extended periods of time, anywhere from two to 11 years! In all of his years making wine, he has never had a problem. In the Jura, many of the wines go through a traditional, intentional oxidation; however Jean-François aims to lend a greater lightness and elegance to wines of this style than are typical. He gravitates toward the Burgundian style, using ouillage to top off barrels.
