Jura wine
Jura wine, is French wine produced in the Jura ''département''. Located between Burgundy and Switzerland, this cool climate wine region produces wines with some similarity to Burgundy and Swiss wine. Jura wines are distinctive and unusual wines, the most famous being ''vin jaune'', which is made by a similar process to Sherry, developing under a flor-like strain of yeast. This is made from the local Savagnin grape variety. Other grape varieties include Poulsard, Trousseau, and Chardonnay. Other wine styles found in Jura includes a ''vin de paille'' made from Chardonnay, Poulsard and Savagnin, a sparkling ''Crémant du Jura'' made from slightly unripe Chardonnay grapes, and a ''vin de liqueur'' known as ''Macvin du Jura'' made by adding marc to halt fermentation. The French chemist Louis Pasteur was born and raised in the Jura region and owned a vineyard near Arbois that is still producing wine today under the management of Jura's largest wine firms: Henri-Maire.〔 T. Stevenson ''"The Sotheby's Wine Encyclopedia"'' pg 224 Dorling Kindersley 2005 ISBN 0-7566-1324-8 〕
==Climate and geography==
The climate of Jura is continental with many similarities to Burgundy but can be more aggressively cold, especially in the winter time. Ripeness levels of the grapes is always a concern for winemakers of the area and harvest times are often delayed as long as possible (usually well into late October) to try to achieve the highest levels possible. To help lessen the threat of autumn frost, grapevines are often trained to the Guyot system.〔 J. Robinson (ed) ''"The Oxford Companion to Wine"'' Third Edition pg 378 Oxford University Press 2006 ISBN 0-19-860990-6 〕
The majority of the regions vineyards are found at altitudes between 820-1,310 ft (250-400 m) between the plains of the Bresse region and the Jura Mountains. The towns of Lons-le-Saunier and Arbois are the principal cities in the wine region. The vineyard soils tend to be composed of mostly clay in the lower flat lands with more limestone based soils in the higher elevation. Deposits of marl are scattered throughout the region with some of the area's most regarded vineyards being found on those sites. Many vineyard slopes are quite steep which creates problems with soil erosion.〔
