The Jura is a small, mountainous region in eastern France, tucked between Burgundy and the Swiss border. It produces some of the most distinctive and sought-after natural wines in the world, and almost none of it makes it to the US. If you've discovered Jura wine, you already know. If you haven't, welcome.
Voilà Wine curates the best growers of the Jura, France's most idiosyncratic wine region. We work exclusively with small estates farming organically, biodynamically, or with explicit low-intervention philosophies. Every bottle in this collection is hand-selected by Paul Baldi, our founder and sommelier, formerly of Atelier Crenn, Quince, and Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc.
The grapes
What makes Jura wine special is its native grape varieties, grapes that grow nowhere else with the same character. Poulsard (also called Ploussard) is the lightest red you'll ever encounter: pale as a dark rosé, perfumed, silky, and utterly unlike anything from Burgundy or the Rhône. Trousseau is darker and more structured, grown on the region's blue and red marl soils, full of wild red fruit and mineral tension. Savagnin is the great white grape of the Jura, nutty, oxidative, and profound in its traditional sous voile style, or fresh and aromatic when made ouillé (topped up). And Chardonnay here develops a depth and complexity that rivals its Burgundian neighbor across the valley.
The natural wine movement and the Jura have always been closely aligned. Pierre Overnoy, Philippe Bornard, and Jean-François Ganevat were making low-intervention wines here long before the category had a name. Today that tradition continues with a new generation of vignerons farming biodynamically at high altitude, coaxing extraordinary freshness and aromatic precision from soils of limestone, clay, and marl.
The growers we work with
Domaine Labet: The reference point for serious Jura. Julien Labet farms parcels in Rotalier with obsessive attention to terroir, producing some of the most precise and ageworthy Jura Chardonnay and Savagnin in the region. Cuvées like En Chalasse and La Reine are studied by Jura collectors worldwide.
Nicolas Jacob: Young Jura grower based in L'Étoile, working a one-hectare original parcel with horse-ploughed vineyards and indigenous yeasts. The Chardonnay Là-Bas is one of the most quietly serious wines in the region.
La Tournelle: Evelyne and Pascal Clairet's biodynamic Arbois estate, producing classical Jura across the full grape spectrum. Their Vin Jaune is a benchmark.
Les Ciels Changeants: Phillip Hedderman's Burgundy-trained project in Nevy-sur-Seille, launched in 2022. Crystalline, mineral wines from grey marl soils. One of the most watched new Jura names.
François Rousset-Martin: Côtes du Jura specialist working with Savagnin, Chardonnay, and the rare local varieties. Quietly respected, increasingly hard to find in the US.
Tony Bornard: Took over Domaine Bornard from his father Philippe in 2017, farming 11.5 hectares biodynamically in Pupillin, neighbor to Pierre Overnoy. Tony pushes the domaine into a new era of precision while carrying forward the family's natural philosophy.
Damien Guadagnolo: Young vigneron crafting expressive Poulsard, Trousseau, and Chardonnay from organic vineyards. One of the new generation defining where Jura is going.
El Babou (Olivier Saint-Priest): A micro-estate of exceptional character producing some of the region's most sought-after limited-production bottles. Traditional varieties, uncompromising approach. Cult status among natural wine collectors.
Julien Crinquand: Young biodynamic grower mentored by Domaine Dodane and Philippe Bornard. Zero additives, whole-cluster fermentation, organic farming. Wines like Le Coup de Plou and P'tit Prince are among the most exciting new releases in the region.
Domaine Ganevat: Jean-François Ganevat's domaine in Rotalier needs no introduction. Among the most allocated and sought-after names in all of France. Cuvées like Oregane appear in our catalog only when available.
Guigui et Théa: A new natural-wine project producing playful, perfumed Jura cuvées like the Jurassic Ploussard. Light on its feet, serious in execution.
Paul & Leo Project: Arbois-Pupillin Ploussard from a small collaborative natural-wine project. Entry-level Jura with real character.
Thomas Popy: Limited-allocation Savagnin from Vin de France parcels. Single bottle highlights when available.
How to choose

Chardonnay: Labet, Nicolas Jacob, and Crinquand show the range, from saline and textural to long-aging.
Poulsard (or Ploussard): Guadagnolo, Paul & Leo, and Guigui et Théa offer the most accessible entries into the grape.
