The wine region is located in just one département, Jura, and grows its unique grape varieties in an area that extends 100 kilometres from north to south. The wines are famous in their own right: vin jaune or yellow wine, a unique white wine that is made from the savagnin variety, an extremely dry and surprising wine that keeps exceptionally well, and straw wine, a sweet wine, the sparkling crémant du Jura, and Macvin, a sweet red or white wine that is enjoyed as an aperitif.
