Amélie Vuillet and Sébastien Jacques are both natives of the Jura.

Between them they have worked alongside some of the region’s great vignerons in Brignot, Bornard and Tissot. In 2011 they acquired a tiny parcel in Arbois and began making a small amount of wine for themselves and since 2013 they have sold a little of it to a lucky few. Today they farm just over a hectare of vines spread over tiny parcels around their home in Molamboz, as well as in Arbois and Montigny-lès-Arsures.

Their work in the vineyards displays the utmost respect for nature. They rarely use treatments and work the soil on horseback with a real focus on the plant’s development. Likewise, in the cellar they work with gravity and without temperature control, filtration or any additions in the hope of offering as pure a reflection of place as possible.

These beautiful, vivacious wines are truly one of a kind.

MÉLI-MÉLO

2021

As the name suggests, a little of everything variety both red and white they harvested from both their old vines planted over clay and limestone in Montigny-lès-Arsures and younger parcels in Molamboz. The grapes were destemmed and spent three months on the skins and after pressing, the wine rested in cuve until the following spring. In this cooler vintage, the wine is perfumed and nuanced, with complex notes of red berries, earth and a gentle funk.
