The Montbourgeau estate excels on the Étoile terroirs and produces an outstanding Poulsard from less than one hectare.
More infoThe Poulsard Côtes du Jura from César and Baptiste Deriaux is a wine with a superb aromatic profile.
The Poulsard vines are planted on clay-limestone soil, primarily at the foot of the slopes. The vineyard practices natural cover cropping and green manuring. At the estate, the harvest is organised according to each plot. For the Poulsard, it is done manually with a yield ranging from 40 to 50 hl/ha, typically occurring in August to ensure the berries reach optimal maturity.
In the cellar, the juice maceration is relatively short, and the addition of sulphur is minimal. During fermentation, the Deriaux family performs regular pump overs and punch downs. Finally, the wine is aged in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and fully express the terroir of Étoile in the bottle. This fruity cuvée pairs beautifully with fish dishes, such as a fillet of pike-perch or grilled meats.
About the Producer Montbourgeau
The Deriaux family has inherited the expertise passed down through generations, rooted in the domain since the early 20th century. César and Jean-Baptiste Deriaux, the 4th generation of the family to run the estate, following in their mother Nicole’s footsteps, have modernised the winery and now skilfully manage the 11 hectares of vines set amidst meadows and forests.
Their environmentally friendly methods are currently undergoing organic conversion, and the winemaking processes in the winery are natural. With Savagnin, Chardonnay, Poulsard, and Trousseau grapes at their disposal, the two winemakers produce characterful wines: topped-up, straw wines, yellow wines, and other crémants. They have been selling their wines all over the world since 2000, flying the flag for the Jura region.
César continues to dream of further developing his property and is contemplating unique parcels near the Montbourgeau estate. Thanks to his skill and grasp of the terroir he is now a new star in the Jura galaxy.
