WINE DESCRIPTION
The roots of Domaine Grand trace back to the 17th century, gaining renown under the stewardship of Lothain brothers Dominique and Georges Grand from 1970 to 2015. In recent years, Emmanuel Grand and his wife Nathalie transformed the estate by reducing its size from 15 to 10 hectares and converting to organic viticulture. After a three-year trial period, organic certification was achieved with the 2021 vintage. The estate’s vineyards, located across Passenans, Saint-Lothain, Arbois, and Ménétru-le-Vignoble, showcase the diverse terroirs of Côtes du Jura. Offering classic varietals like Savagnin and Chardonnay, Domaine Grand’s wines are powerful and masterfully aged in oak.

ORIGINS
Winery: Domaine Grand
Region: Jura
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
