Jura Wine Ten Years On

Ten years ago, when Wink Lorch’s award-winning Jura Wine was published, the region’s fascinating and diverse wines were attracting growing interest from around the world. That interest has exploded exponentially in the past decade, during a period that has presented both unusual challenges and opportunities for the wine producers.

This companion volume to Jura Wine explores how the wine region has evolved, and looks to the future. It begins with a series of chapters detailing the recent vintages; explains the working methods used to address the effects of climate change in the vineyards and the cellars; and explores new wine styles and the evolving market. Wink’s discussions with local producers, consultants, sommeliers, and worldwide importers of Jura wine give her a deep and unparalleled understanding of the issues affecting everyone involved.

A listing of producers updates key facts on generational changes and evolving philosophies, and includes more than 50 vignerons established in the past ten years. The last section examines how wine tourism has developed in the gorgeous Jura region, and gives expert advice on how to make the most of a visit there, with mentions of the best new restaurants, wine bars, and shops.

As a companion volume to Jura Wine, this is an essential addition to the library of all wine professionals and lovers of French wines.
