Domaine Frédéric Lornet
After much success as a wine grower selling his fruit to a négociant for over 20 years, in 1974 Frédéric Lornet crossed over the other side and began bottling his own wine.
Today, Lornet and his wines are at the forefront of the Jura's wine industry consistently ranking as one of the regions's best producers. Lornet's artisanal style is aimed at producing classic wines using organic and biodynamic methods both in the vineyard and in the winery.

A voile develops (yeast layer) on top of the aging wine both protecting the wine and adding flavor to it. The wine is neither fined nor filtered and has an amazing aging potential.
