Joseph Dorbon’s setup is simple: three hectares of organically tended vines on prime south-facing slopes above his home village of Vadans, a horse to help him plow, and a subterranean, 16th-century cellar in which his soulful wines slowly take shape.
“Cuvée des Moyne”—moyne being the Middle French spelling of moine, or “monk”— comes from an interplanted parcel of 45 to 75 year old Chardonnay (80%) and Savagnin (20%) vines. Chiseled in its minerality, this white offers bright and zesty mandarin-citrus notes, alongside hints of curry leaf and spicy marzipan. A lively spine of acidity gives the wine life and energy. This is a layered and saline example of sous-voile that is head-spinningly complex and a pure joy to sit with over a few hours.
Joseph Dorbon Description
The wines of the Jura hold a unique and significant place in wine culture due to their distinctive character, traditional production methods, and ability to challenge mainstream tastes. This small French wine region has become a pioneer for organic and natural wines, with about half of all Jura winegrowers working organically or biodynamically, preserving ancient traditions and native grape varieties. The Jura's most famous wine, Vin Jaune, is considered a cultural treasure of France and one of the great wines of the world, showcasing the region's commitment to preserving its unique winemaking heritage. Historically, the Jura has played a significant role in the world of gastronomy and wine, with its traditional winemaking methods and exceptional range of wines from five grape varieties and six official denominations contributing to its reputation as a treasure trove for wine enthusiasts and sommeliers alike.
