SATURDAY JULY 23rd 12pm- 2pm
The eccentric wines of Jura are originals in the wine world. Their haute couture cloaks are worn like a badge of honour. NY Times critic Eric Asimov once said 'In a world of smooth, rounded, velvet-lined wines, the wines of Jura stand out as jagged and resolute…'. These are borne from a tradition that is alive and well today.
Though let's not fool ourselves as Jura's reputation and airtime far outweigh its production. These wines are hard to find. Jura represents a minuscule 0.2% of France's output, and nearly all are drunk within the region. Incredibly they've garnered a huge following recently, especially in the wine bars of Paris and New York.
The Jura is a narrow valley wedged between Burgundy and Switzerland, this is countryside filled with limestone cliffs and hillocks upon which the best vines are planted. These wines are tangy, complex, pure and delicious.
Join us on Saturday 23rd July for a public tasting of all wines Jura - from sparkling crémant, whites, reds and maybe even some vin jaune!
The tasting is FREE but please book in on the link.WINES ON TASTING
