Today's offer was spurred by the realization that we didn't have enough Jura on the shelf. Our business is primarily online, an aftereffect of Covid and the neighborhood of Tribeca changing drastically since the pandemic, so most of the requests we receive for wines are by email. As we reach the end of the year, however, we typically experience an uptick in good old fashioned walk-in business, often from friends in the industry or folks who are in town for the holidays and miss browsing at Chambers Street. Wines from the Jura were being requested and we found ourselves lacking in that department, so we reached out to our importer friends, tasted as much as we could and put together what we consider a pretty thorough selection of Jura wines! Timing couldn't have been better as new wines from Stéphane Tissot just arrived days ago, in time to make it into the mix. Many of the wines offered today are classics at Chambers Street Wines, staples of our selection, others are new to us and potentially to you too, dear reader. 
 
Everything was primed for this weekend's email and then we received word that a new drop from Patrick Bouju and Justine Loiseau of Domaine La Bohème had arrived! What's better than an email with hip Jura wines? An email with hip Jura wines and even hipper Auvergne wines! All the rage in the natural wine scene of Paris (one scene that New York City takes cues from), wines of the Auvergne are hard to find in the states, and are fascinating in many ways, thanks to unique soil types and volcanic terroirs, and the local Gamay D'Auvergne grape (distinct from Gamay de Beaujolais or other, more common Gamay varieties). Bouju and Loiseau have been on a role in recent years, producing wines that are vibrant and balanced, using neutral barrels, stainless steel and amphoras to let the grapes and the terroir speak through the wines. Icing on the cake is "Les Milans" from Marie and Vincent Tricot in the Auvergne, mentors and friends of Patrick and Justine!
