Paul Lewakowski is one of the most exciting new names to emerge from the Jura. Originally from Michigan, he gained experience at Domaine des Comtes Lafon and Zind-Humbrecht before moving to the Jura in 2015, where he spent four years working alongside the Labet family. He established his own domaine in 2019.Today Paul farms just 3.5 hectares across small parcels in Orbagna, Gizia and Grusse in the southern Jura, working biodynamically with a focus on Chardonnay and Savagnin.

In the cellar, the approach is patient and minimal: spontaneous fermentations, gentle pressing and unusually long élevage, with wines often spending two to three years or more in barrel before bottling. In fact, Paul waited several years before releasing anything at all. Production is tiny, with wines combining depth and texture with the tension, salinity and mineral character of the southern Jura. After years quietly ageing in his cellar, Paul’s wines are only now beginning to reach the market.

Chardonnay from forty year old vines planted over pure limestone in Orbagna. The grapes were pressed to barrels for three years of élevage and time has made for a wine of great power and detail that offers ripe stone fruits and refreshing notes of chalk, salt and lime. Open and expressive from the get-go, this is Chardonnay of rare purity and real finesse.
