Les Bottes Rouges

Jean Baptiste Ménigoz

Any rock fans here? Get the reference? Les Bottes Rouges, named after a song by the famous band Les Wampas, is the estate of Jean-Baptiste Ménigoz. Based in Abergement-le-Petit, Jean-Baptiste harvests his Savagnin and Chardonnay, as well as Trousseau, Poulsard and Pinot Noir, between the Arbois and Côtes du Jura appellations. Jura natural wines need no introduction, and neither does Les Bottes Rouges. Undeniably a figure of the region, Jean-Baptiste, first a teacher, grew passionate about natural wine over time (notably with Domaine Ratapoil and his friend Raphaël Monnier). In 2011, after an internship with the iconic Stéphane Tissot, he took over a few hectares of vines and set out. Organic farming without hesitation, the most natural winemaking possible to respect the grapes, and a unique expression in his whites and reds! Look no further: if you get the chance, add Les Bottes Rouges wines to your cellar!
