Producer Information

Florent Rouve makes wine in the Jura with inspiration from Burgundy.What distinguishes Rouves Jura's from many others is that he does not make his wines in the traditional, oxidative way. In this process, the wines ripen in contact with oxygen, which gives them aromas and flavors of roasted nuts and bruised apples. François, on the other hand, makes them exactly like in Burgundy: pure, terroir-typed and with minimal intervention.He harvests the grapes for this En Paradis in the plot of the same name with old vines planted on clay soils (marnes bleues). The relatively cool location provides a lot of freshness and aromas in the grapes, which gives the final wine a strikingly beautiful tension and finesse.After the manual harvest, Florent ferments the Chardonnay grapes using grape yeasts in oak barrels. The wine then matures on the yeasts for a further sixteen months. Florent does not apply a batonnage to keep the wine as unprocessed as possible.
