Domaine des Murmures. The name itself piques the curiosity, and perfectly encapsulates the estate’s philosophy. Let us explain. Nestled in the Jura, the estate is home to endemic grape varieties planted on just two or three hectares of land. At the helm is Emmanuel Lançon, whose deep commitment is evident in his meticulous vineyard practices?–?working the soils by horse and by hand?–?and in his painstakingly natural approach to winemaking. Interestingly, the winemaker also works in a completely different field.
One thing is certain: as prices for Jura wines soar at auction and enthusiasts pursue the rare, flavourful indigenous grapes for which the region is renowned, the precious, small-production wines of Domaine des Murmures are captivating collectors and natural wine lovers across the globe. This is one estate we’ll undoubtedly be hearing much more about.
