For Christmas, we have decided to offer our loyal customers the chance to purchase two new releases from one of the Jura’s most talented young duos, Dimitri and Marion of La Grange 476.
Originally from the Loire and Auvergne respectively, the two settled here in 2020, purchasing a small house and cellar in the picturesque village of Menétru-le-Vignoble, which included two and a half hectares of vines in the surrounding hills. They now farm a total of four hectares of old vines spread across small parcels in some of Château-Chalon’s great terroirs, such as Beaumont and Sous Roche.
They have worked organically and followed biodynamic principles from the outset, working the soil with the help of their beloved Comtois horses, Soferino and Khyr, with a focus on letting the vines and surrounding nature remain as free as possible.
In the cellar, they are seeking a pure expression of terroir. They prefer to vinify by parcel, ageing the wines for as long as needed and working without any additions. The resulting wines are dense, layered and nuanced and like all great ones fom this part of the region, reveal themselves slowly over time.
These both come from the same parcel, a beautiful spot hidden away amongst the hillsides named Les Bouchettes. The 2022 vintage was a warm, dry year which provided a great growing season and plenty of beautiful grapes and has produced perfectly ripe, perfumed wines which are showing wonderfully in their youth.
The wines are now available on Tutto a Casa, with a limit of 1 bottle of each cuvée per person.
