Jura Cremant

In Jura there are sparking wines, which like the rest of France outside of Champagne, are called 'Cremant'

They are made in 'methode traditional' using Chardonnay and Savagnin grown between 50 and 300m elevation.

The rules for making cremant are ruled by each individual AOC

A lot of winemakers will send out there still wines in bulk or 'vrac' and have these wines made sparkling.

Cremant in Jura must age minimum 9 months in bottle
