Ten years ago, when Wink Lorch’s award-winning Jura Wine was published, the region’s fascinating and diverse wines were attracting growing interest from around the world. That interest has exploded exponentially in the past decade, during a period that has presented both unusual challenges and opportunities for the wine producers.

This companion volume to Jura Wine explores how the wine region has evolved, and looks to the future. It begins with a series of chapters detailing the recent vintages; explains the working methods used to address the effects of climate change in the vineyards and the cellars; and explores new wine styles and the evolving market. Wink’s discussions with local producers, consultants, sommeliers, and worldwide importers of Jura wine give her a deep and unparalleled understanding of the issues affecting everyone involved.

A listing of producers updates key facts on generational changes and evolving philosophies, and includes more than 50 vignerons established in the past ten years. The last section examines how wine tourism has developed in the gorgeous Jura region, and gives expert advice on how to make the most of a visit there, with mentions of the best new restaurants, wine bars, and shops.

As a companion volume to Jura Wine, this is an essential addition to the library of all wine professionals and lovers of French wines.

Wink is the author of two award-winning books: Jura Wine (2014) won the André Simon Best Drink Book award and was shortlisted for a Louis Roederer Wine Writers’ award; Wines of the French Alps: Savoie, Bugey and beyond (2019) won an OIV award in the category ‘Wines and Territory’ and was shortlisted for the André Simon Best Drink Book award.

Wink is a long-term member of the Circle of Wine Writers. She is a regular contributor on Jura and Savoie to Jancis Robinson’s Oxford Companion to Wine, Hugh Johnson’s Pocket Wine Book, and to books by Tom Stevenson and Oz Clarke. She has written numerous articles for print and online magazines from Decanter to Wine-Searcher.

To research this book, Wink made many trips to the Jura, and spoke with countless professionals involved with Jura wines. The odd glass of Savagnin ouillé and Trousseau, among many other wines, have
kept her motivated.

‘The books that taught me about wine were about places and people. It’s the history and stories about a wine that bring it to life and make it worth talking about.’
