Jean spent the better part of that decade working as technical director for the noted Mâcon negociant Verget before deciding to start his own project. He amassed a collection of top-quality vines centered around the village of Viré totaling 4 hectares. Like few Burgundians before him, Jean had long looked east in admiration of the Jura’s wines. In the late ‘90s it was still possible to obtain reasonably priced vineyards in and around Arbois, so he did just that, acquiring 5ha of Savagnin, Chardonnay, and a smidge of Poulsard. In order to stay true to the regional identity of the respective projects and to avoid logistical hassles, he decided to open a second cellar in Villette-Les-Arbois to handle all of the Jura production. Although the Jura and Mâcon wines are made under a unified philosophy - namely, organic farming and hands-off winemaking - their production remains distinct to their respective regions to this day \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 2013, lacking an heir, Jean began transitioning the management of the domaine to his talented and eager understudy, Florent Rouve. Today, Florent has fully taken over the estate and oversees all of the farming and production in both the Mâcon and Jura. He has continued where Jean left off in focusing first and foremost on organic farming, with a strong emphasis on developing ecological diversity in the vineyards and a light touch in the cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rijckaert","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50651537047808,"sku":null,"price":47.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/patronsaintwine.com\/products\/rijckaert-arbois-savagnin-jura-france-2023","provider":"Patron Saint","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
