Domaine la Grapp´A

Domaine La Grapp’A is a young vineyard in the Jura founded in 2021, recognized for its natural wines and commitment to organic and biodynamic farming.

🍇 Origins and Location Founded by Aurélie Parla and Julien Maublanc, the estate is located in Abergement-le-Grand, a few kilometers from Arbois, in the Jura. The vines have belonged to Julien’s family for several generations but were previously managed by a local cooperative. The couple gradually took back the parcels to vinify them themselves.

🌿 Philosophy and Agricultural Practices

• Organic and biodynamic farming: all plots are cultivated without chemical inputs, using environmentally friendly practices.

• Agroforestry in progress: integration of trees into the vineyards to promote biodiversity and soil resilience.

• Natural winemaking:

  • Use of indigenous yeasts.

  • No fining or filtration.

  • Zero added sulfur.

  • Long macerations (2 to 5 weeks), often with whole-cluster fermentations.

🍷 Grape Varieties and Wines The estate cultivates about 5 hectares in production, with the goal of not exceeding 10 hectares to remain artisanal. Local grape varieties are highlighted:

• Savagnin (yellow and green)

• Trousseau

• Poulsard

• Pinot Fin

• Chardonnay (old massal selections)

• Pinot Noir
