Wines of the Jura w/Lauren

Ask any sommelier for a list of their most profound wine experiences, and they'll probably have a vin jaune on the list. This uber-rare style of wine from the French Alps is just the tip of the iceberg—and one we'll explore deeply in this exciting class.

Tucked between Burgundy and the Swiss border, the Jura is tiny in size but massive in influence. For centuries, winemakers here have embraced traditions that feel radical today: long aging under a veil of yeast, oxidative styles that flirt with mystery, and skin-contact whites that taste like liquid amber. Add in rare grapes like Savagnin, Poulsard, and Trousseau, and you’ve got one of the most distinctive wine regions on earth.

In this class, we’ll dive into the Jura’s signature styles — from sharp, saline whites aged sous voile to light, peppery reds that defy expectation. We’ll explore how this once-overlooked region became a cult obsession among collectors and why natural winemakers everywhere look to the Jura as both muse and model.

The higher ticket price of this class reflects the rarity of the wines we'll be tasting.
