Pont de Breux 2009 Vin Jaune - The Final Shipment
4/26/2024 -
In the winter of 2013 my father and I visited Jean-Charles Maire at his humble estate in the Jura for the first time. We visited once again the following year and unfortunately, he passed away in 2015 after an unexpected heart attack. Jean-Charles was a pioneer of organic agriculture in the region, with natural vinifications that beautifully expressed the unique terroirs of the northern Jura. We are very fortunate to have met Jean-Charles Maire - he was deeply intelligent, thoughtful and friendly and he cared intensely about his beautiful organic vineyards.
Today's offer (our first on our new website!) is all about one wine, and quite a special one at that! The Pont de Breux Vin Jaune from the 2009 vintage is the last Vin Jaune that Jean-Charles Maire bottled for export before his passing. We are honored to be able to share this wine and would highly recommend grabbing a few. We fear we may never see a bottle of Vin Jaune at this price again!
