Description: Since 1919, The Richard family has cultivated vines in Le Vernois, in the heart of the Jura. Over generations, the estate evolved from polyculture to specialized wine-growing. In 1976, Pierre Richard expanded the domain, while Vincent Richard returned in 2009 after studying viticulture and Oenology. Since 2018, Vincent and his wife Emmanuelle have followed their convictions by converting the 12- hectare vineyard to organic, certified by Ecocert. Situated between the Seille and Lons-le-Saunier, Le Vernois benefits from clay-limestone soils and rich winemaking heritage. A cheerful aperitif moment. Its freshness and elegance make it perfect for an aperitif, while it's lovely fine bubbles invite you to enjoy it throughout the evening.
