Jean-François can be found in the sleepy hamlet of La Combe, below the main village of Rotalier. From his modest 8.5 acres of vines -all owned, except one hectare rented, he makes up to 40 cuvees to capture the various terroir, grape varieties and winemaking styles that he feels represent the best of the Jura.
Nicole Deriaux has a totally natural approach to wine, all is hand-harvested and vinified in the cellar under her family home. Her wines are the best expression of the tiny appellation “L’Etoile”.
