The wines of Domaine de la Touraize

The story of Domaine de la Touraize

Poulsard, Trousseau, Pinot Noir, Savagnin, Chardonnay… Guessed it? We're on the finest terroirs of Arbois, at Domaine de la Touraize, run by Héléana and André-Jean Morin. The family has been making wine since at least 1704: Étienne Morin's death certificate already reads "winegrower by profession". The name Touraize comes from a lieu-dit the family has owned ever since.
In 1922, after losing vines and lacking means, the family stopped making wine and joined the Arbois cooperative. André-Jean joined the family farm in 1985, and in 2009 he and Héléana left the cooperative to revive the estate and make their own wines.
Today they farm 10 hectares organically and biodynamically (certified since 2020), to protect the soils, biodiversity and everyone's health. For them, wine is made in the vineyard first: ploughing between the rows, hand-hoeing on steep plots, natural preparations and hand harvesting. In the cellar, native yeasts, no chaptalisation and no additives. Whites stay on their lees for 9 to 24 months in large casks, reds are aged in casks or tanks, and bottling follows the lunar calendar, with no fining or filtration. The result: Jura wines of remarkable precision.

The cuvées of Domaine de la Touraize

For Chardonnay, Les Voisines blends three terroirs (blue marl, gravel on marl and limestone) and spends two winters on fine lees in wood. Ammonites and En Flandre offer other takes on the grape, and the Crémant du Jura, 100% Chardonnay from 30-year-old vines, brings the bubbles.
Les Moulins, two-thirds Chardonnay and one-third Savagnin on gravel and marl at 350 m, is floral, fresh and easy to drink, with Savagnin's tension. For Savagnin lovers, Terres Bleues, on blue marl, shows incredible tension, while the Savagnin oxydatif sous voile, aged 24 to 30 months in barrels without topping up, develops all the aromatic complexity typical of the Jura. There's also Côtes à Côtes.
In red, the Trousseau Les Corvées, on gravel and marl, is aged two winters in large casks: decant before serving. And the Poulsard La Cabane shows the finesse and lightness of this emblematic Jura grape.
