~ A different eye on Jura wines ~
Domaine FORET is located in the capital of Jura, Arbois, owned by Frederic Foret, last generation but not least!
In 1885, Elie Foret, his great-grandfather, planted his first vines on echalats in places called "Les Corvées" and "Curon". These lands today have an undeniable reputation.
Faithful to the family tradition, Frédéric farms in a reasonable way the 5 Jura grape varieties on 7 Ha. in AOC :
🍷 'Instant Flora' (Trousseau), 'The Touch Trad' (Chardonnay + Savagnin), 'Secret d’Origine' (Savagnin) and his sublime emblematic 'Vin Jaune' are to be discovered among the 8 cuvées that Freddy offers for tasting.
🇰🇷Indeed, these cuvées have been selected by one of my faithfull korean importers looking forward to get a great success on his market.
✨️In addition to his qualities and skills as a winegrower, Freddy is an artist with a passion for welding and metal. He created so many beautiful sculptures both at the vineyard and at the cellar; The most singular and monumental of his sculptures is a Clavelin bottle & its glass, more than 4m height and 6m length.
💯 It is a must if you come to Arbois as you can contemplate it from the road 'N83'.
♥️'Freddy' is considered as the generous representative of «The Art of Arbois».
