Le vin de paille: a liquid treasure

Straw wine, often referred to as the "gold of the Jura", is a sweet wine with an extraordinary aromatic complexity. Produced using a unique winemaking process, it appeals to lovers of sweet and complex wines.

A unique manufacturing process

Straw wine owes its name to an old method of drying grapes on straw racks. Although this practice is less widespread today, the principle remains the same: the most beautiful bunches of grapes are selected by hand, then spread out on racks to concentrate their sugar and aromas.

This process, called passerillage, can last several weeks or even months. The grapes thus lose a large part of their water, which concentrates the sugars and aromas.

A complex and intense aromatic profile

Straw wine is distinguished by its aromatic richness. It has notes of candied fruit (apricot, peach), honey, spices (ginger, cinnamon), dried fruit (hazelnut, almond) and sometimes even floral notes. On the palate, it is smooth, velvety and very long.

Where to find vin de paille?

Vin de paille is mainly produced in the Jura, in France. It is also produced in other wine-growing regions, but the Jura remains its land of origin. The grape varieties most used for the production of vin de paille are Savagnin, Poulsard and Chardonnay.

How to taste vin de paille?

Vin de paille is ideally tasted at a temperature of 10 to 12°C. It will go wonderfully with foie gras, a fruit dessert, a mature cheese or simply a meditation.

In short, vin de paille is an exceptional wine, the fruit of ancestral know-how and an exceptional terroir. If you have the chance to taste it, don't miss it!
