Lulu Vigneron (Les Chais du Vieux Bourg)
Lulu Vigneron, operating from Les Chais du Vieux Bourg in Jura, focuses on Savagnin—the region's signature white variety. The winery's portfolio centers on this distinctive grape, which thrives in Jura's continental climate and chalky soils, developing the oxidative character and mineral intensity the region is known for. 'Le Jaune' Vin Jaune, the winery's flagship expression, exemplifies the traditional Jura style: aged under flor in barrel, it builds complexity and a characteristic nutty, spiced profile over years. The Savagnin and QV d'Etoiles offerings provide alternative expressions of the same varietal, each shaped by Jura's exacting terroir. Wine Spectator and Wine Advocate have both assessed the winery's releases, recognizing the precision these wines achieve.
