	Jura wine : The Vin Jaune (yellow wine) - Jura vineyards
		Although the Jura vineyards cover one of the smallest surface areas in France (1,850 ha), the wine produced is nevertheless one of the most original by the diversity of its production and the typicality of its aromatic selection.
		The Jura vineyards have six AOC (certifying origin), of which Château Chalon is one; indeed, it was one of the first wine - growing communes in France to receive this accolade.
		The Vin Jaune (yellow wine) was born on the slopes of this delightful village and has become the pride of all the natives of the Jura and the region's ambassador.

	Wine: The Wines of Jura, France, on StarChefs
		After a normal fermentation, the Savagnin wine is then aged in barrels for a minimum of six years and three months; during this time it develops a yeast-like covering similar to the flor which protects aging Sherry (unlike most Sherry, however, the wine is not fortified).
		A wine bottled with a green neck label comes from his own vineyards, but wines made from fruit bought from other growers are differentiated by a brown label.
		Today, Jura is building on its past, and remains loyal to its traditions and grapes at a time when too many producers around the world are discarding local specialties in favor of international grapes and generic styles.

	Wine Pages - the wines of the Jura
		There the wine stays for at least six years during which, each pièce is regularly checked for dangerous levels of volatile acidity and for the formation of the beneficial ethanal, which in part provides the famous goût du jaune.
		Confusingly, Jura reds are sometimes labelled as rosé, because of their pale colour, even though the tannins evident on the palate make it obvious to any modestly experienced wine taster that the wines have been vinified as a red.
		But, to really uncover the mystery of the wines of the Jura, you must explore the caves of the vignerons in villages such as Montigny-les-Arsures, Pupillin, Le Vernois and Rotalier, and be prepared later to wash the wines down with some hearty mountain fare in the local restaurants.

		Though the Jura region has not taken part in the common wine business and the increasing prices of the past years, Jura wines are not cheap.
		The wines are mostly consumed within the region and there they know that they are precious and that their yellow wine is something special.
		In Jura people are also proud of their typical red wine grapes 'Poulsard', 'Troussart' and 'Pinot Noir', but we were very fond of the white wines.

		The Vin Jaune was born on the slopes of this delightful village and has become the pride of all the natives of the Jura and the region's ambassador.
		This produces a layer of specific yeasts (the Vin Jaune is also called a "filmed" wine) which throughout its ageing period of 6 years and 3 months gives the wine its special flavour and its lovely bronze colour.
		This unique wine has a specially-shaped bottle which contains, unusually, 62.5 cl. It is said that this corresponds to the amount left from a litre of wine after its 6 years and 3 months of ageing.

		The Jura wine-growing region is the only one to offer five colours of wine: red, rosé, white, straw and yellow, made from five different grapes of which the Savagnin, the Trousseau and the Poulsard are peculiar to the Jura.
		Jura wine-growers of the oral tradition believe that the Naturé or Savagnin was brought from Hungary by nuns, but research tends to argue that the reverse was true, in other words that this grape emigrated from the Jura to Hungary.
		The Jura is virtually the only region in which the Savagnin grape, which is low-yielding and susceptible to abortion, is grown.

		The area is dramatically beautiful, as much for its sub-alpine landscape as for its remarkable wines, which draw on an essentially continental climate, a multi-faceted and varied terroir (limestone crowns over blue, red and grey marl), and indigenous varietals of Savagnin, Trousseau and Poulsard, alongside Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
		The red Poulsard and Trousseau make fascinating dry wines, yet also are blended together with Savagnin when making the delicious Vin de Paille, which demands low yields of 20 hl/ha, at least 6 weeks shrivelling on straw mats, followed by 3 years in cask before bottling.
		An utterly distinct and delicious wine, richly coloured with a red tint, the nose is a marvellous blend of red fruit and taut nutty fruit, sweet, medium bodied to be enjoyed now with a foie gras starter or with dessert such as tarts or chocolate.

	French Cooking at Epicurious.com
		The Jura is a rugged, forested region of France almost directly east of Dijon, known for its fine smoked pork products, rich and fruity white wines, and incomparable Comté cheese.
		There are ski slopes which become sled runs in summer, bungee jumping on trampolines at the base of gentle mountains, the bubbling source of the river Doubs which is so icy it makes your feet tingle then ache, and tree-dotted meadows full of wild flowers just begging for picknickers.
		The cuisine of the Jura, which was developed to satisfy appetites sharpened by extreme cold, is hearty and rich and perfect with the pure mountain air.

	Surprises From the Jura, Jagged in a Velvet-Smooth Universe - New York Times
		Almost singularly among wine regions, the reds are usually served before the whites in the Jura because they are lighter in texture.
		The Jura is a bucolic green bowl between Burgundy and Switzerland, where the patchwork of vineyards and hayfields is occasionally interrupted by a village of tile-roofed houses or a herd of cows.
		So the Jura evolved, like the marsupials of Australia, in relative isolation, which permitted the planting of grapes like savagnin, ploussard and trousseau that are grown almost nowhere else, made into wines with techniques that in most places would be regarded as downright peculiar.
