Jura is a small wine region in eastern France, with a unique terroir and a long history of winemaking. Jura is bordered by Switzerland and the Rhône-Alpes region. It is known for its distinctive white wines, made from the local Savagnin grape, as well as its reds and rosés.
Jura has been producing wine since the Roman era, and its winemaking tradition has been passed down through the generations. In the Middle Ages, the region was known for its sweet wines, which were popular throughout Europe. In the 19th century, the region began to focus on dry wines, and the local Savagnin grape became the main variety used.CUSTOMER RATING
