Domaine Dugois is a family-run estate located in the Jura, one of France’s most distinctive and quietly fascinating wine regions. Now led by Benoît Dugois, the domaine focuses on sustainable farming and producing wines that highlight the region’s alpine freshness, limestone-rich soils, and deeply traditional winemaking culture. The Jura sits between Burgundy and Switzerland, and while small in size, it has become increasingly celebrated for its singular grape varieties and terroir-driven wines.
This bottling showcases Trousseau, one of Jura’s native red grapes and a variety prized for its aromatic lift, delicate structure, and earthy complexity. Trousseau thrives in the region’s marl and limestone soils, where cool temperatures help preserve acidity and freshness while allowing the grape to develop nuanced aromatics. Compared to heavier red varieties, Trousseau tends to produce lighter-bodied wines with elegance and energy rather than power.
At Domaine Dugois, the focus is on preserving purity and site expression through careful vineyard management and restrained cellar work. “Grévillière” reflects a more lifted and transparent style, emphasizing the grape’s natural vibrancy and savory character. It’s a wine that feels both rustic and refined—very much a reflection of Jura itself. Bright red currant, cranberry, and wild strawberry layered with dried herbs, white pepper, and subtle earthy notes. Light-to-medium bodied with vibrant acidity, silky tannins, and a fresh, mineral-driven finish.
