The Domain of
Didier
Grappe
The domain is situated
entirely in the community of St Lothain which benefits from the label of origin
AOC Cotes du Jura.
Champs
Rouges
This vineyard is found at the exit of the village in the direction of
Darbonnay. As the name indicates
the soil is composed of red wine coloured earth, and patches of red-grey autumn
leaves, which is characteristic of the best vineyard lands in the Jura.
The planted vines are Trousseau and Savagin.
En Novelin :
South of
the village church on the limestone slopes (Petit Mont) is the best land
in the village; a plot with good exposure to the south.
The soil is mostly composed of reg-grey earth favourable for the
Trousseau vines.
Longefin :
Across
from Novelin on a little hill called “Ramandot” the vines are exposed to the
north but get lots of sunlight. Here
the Chardonnay vines are finely selected to favour quality rather than quantity.
Due to the demand being high the production is
quickly dispersed and sometimes this means a delay in stock. Because of this the wines of Domaine Grappe are not for sale in the large
wine retail outlets.
Holiday Location and
Rental
A warm, friendly
reception is reserved for each visitor. The
gite can accommodate a couple with two children (a double bedroom and
convertable living room. On demand
or by appointment you can visit the vineyard and taste the wine.
Groups welcome.
