Domaine Philippe Vandelle

Auguste was the first VANDELLE to settle in the Jura vineyards, at l'Etoile in 1883.
Since 2001, Philippe has shared the same passion for this terroir; as a child, following in the footsteps of his grandfather Joseph, he was already walking the slopes of the estate. In 2020, Valentin, the 6th generation, takes up the challenge.

From father to son, the secrets of pruning, grape ripening, alcoholic fermentation and ageing under glass have been passed down.
Mont Morin, which overlooks the village, is the cradle of the estate. The remarkable amount of sunshine and the soil of white marl from the upper Lias make this hillside the ideal place for Savagnin, giving it an exceptional character among the wines of the Jura.

Today, the estate covers 16 hectares of vines cultivated using integrated farming methods. L'Etoile white wines are the main production, along with Crémants du Jura (30%), Côtes du Jura red wines (10%), Vins Jaunes (7%), Macvin (5%) and Vins de Paille (1%). A complete range in which the five Jura grape varieties are represented: Chardonnay and Savagnin for the whites, Trousseau, Pinot Noir and Poulsard for the reds.

Worthy heirs to this lineage, Philippe and Valentin VANDELLE will be delighted to welcome you and offer you their traditional Jura wines for laying down.

By appointment only, depending on when the cellar is open.
