Wine for sale: Montbourgeau

Montbourgeau

At the heart of L’Étoile, the smallest and most secretive appellation in the Jura region, Domaine de Montbourgeau is owned by the Deriaux family, who have been producing wines here since the 1920s.

The Deriaux family has inherited the expertise passed down through generations, rooted in the domain since the early 20th century. César and Jean-Baptiste Deriaux, the 4th generation of the family to run the estate, following in their mother Nicole’s footsteps, have modernised the winery and now skilfully manage the 11 hectares of vines set amidst meadows and forests.
Their environmentally friendly methods are currently undergoing organic conversion, and the winemaking processes in the winery are natural. With Savagnin, Chardonnay, Poulsard, and Trousseau grapes at their disposal, the two winemakers produce characterful wines: topped-up, straw wines, yellow wines, and other crémants. They have been selling their wines all over the world since 2000, flying the flag for the Jura region.
César continues to dream of further developing his property and is contemplating unique parcels near the Montbourgeau estate. Thanks to his skill and grasp of the terroir he is now a new star in the Jura galaxy.
