Vin de paille is an iconic specialty of the Jura, made from carefully selected grapes that are left to dry for several weeks on straw mats or hung in well-ventilated attics, in order to concentrate their sugars.
This traditional process, known as passerillage, results in a sweet wine of great aromatic richness, with notes of candied fruit, honey, fig, and walnut.
Made primarily from Savagnin, Poulsard, and Chardonnay, vin de paille is aged for a long time in barrels, often for several years, giving it remarkable complexity and excellent aging potential.
It is produced in the same communes as the main Jura AOCs and carries a specific designation within them.
Rare, intense, and precious, it pairs beautifully with desserts, foie gras, or can be enjoyed on its own as a wine for special occasions.
