Savagnin Les Fées Papillon Cotes-du-Jura, Les Granges Pâquenesses 2018

Loreline originates from Montpellier and whilst living in the south (in her twenties) she worked for many of the Rhône’s top vignerons including Laurent Charvin in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Bitten by the wine bug, travelling around and falling in love with the Jura region and its wines, she determined to set up on her own and so in 2010, started out with 2.5ha of vineyards, converting a ramshackle rented farm in the flatlands of Tourmont (west of Poligny) into a house, cave and rural gite.

In less than eight years she has progressed apace to the point where she is making some of the most exciting wines in the Jura today. Her wines have incredible elegance and finesse and always thrill with an electric twist of salinity and acidity.
