JURA - FRANCE
The New Star of Jura
Château de l’Étoile is the personal project of Louis Fourrier, son of Jean-Marie Fourrier of Domaine Fourrier in Gevrey-Chambertin, one of Burgundy’s most prestigious estates. Yet this is not Burgundy. This is Jura – a region with its own identity, energy, and remarkable history.
The story of the estate dates back to 1250, when Jean de Chalon settled on the slopes of Mont Muzard and built the Château, already surrounded by vineyards renowned for their quality. Today, the domaine extends over nearly 17 hectares within the tiny and highly regarded L’Étoile appellation, a true mosaic of parcels planted with the region’s emblematic grape varieties.
Exceptionally Difficult to Find
The ambition is simple, yet demanding: to craft wines without artifice, wines that offer a sincere and faithful expression of their origin, while ensuring the long-term preservation of this extraordinary heritage.
These wines have been eagerly awaited since the first news of the project emerged. After years of closely following the domaine and working tirelessly to secure an allocation, we have finally managed to obtain a small quantity. An achievement that was far from guaranteed: many importers around the world have tried to secure these wines, and many have not succeeded.
