A little trip to the Jura 🍷🇫🇷

Join us on 26th March for A Taste of the Jura where Olivier will be cooking up a Jurassien menu of Comté soufflé, Poulet au Vin Jaune aux morilles & Macvin poached pears for dessert.

The tiny but much-adored wine region produces iconic wines such as oxidative sherry-like Vin Jaunes, electric whites from Savagnin and Chardonnay and the most ethereal, delicate reds from local varieties Poulsard and Trousseau.
