Tasting Note
Pale gold in colour with a slight greenish tinge. The nose is delicate with notes of walnut and hazelnut, fresh spices and a toasty background. This leads to a pleasantly lingering palate that returns to the delicate and elegant flavours that characterise the finesse of this appellation.
More About The Winery
Located in Névy-sur-Seille, at the heart of the Jura wine region, Domaine Courbet has built a reputation for producing wines that combine tradition, terroir, and modern precision. Now managed by the 5th generation, Jérôme Courbet, the estate cultivates around 7 hectares of vineyards, primarily on marl and limestone soils that give Jura wines their unique character.
The domaine specializes in classic Jura varieties — Chardonnay, Savagnin, Poulsard, and Trousseau — crafted into both traditional oxidative styles and modern ouillé (topped-up) expressions. From the iconic Vin Jaune to elegant Chardonnays and delicate reds, Courbet’s wines are admired for their clarity, balance, and finesse, offering a true reflection of Jura’s mosaic of terroirs.
Committed to organic viticulture and sustainable practices, Jérôme Courbet ensures that every wine embodies both the history of the Jura and a forward-looking respect for nature.
