Abergement le Petit, Jura
This is an iconic wine event that has been taking place for around 10 years in spring, Le Nez dans le Vert is a wine fair organized by Jean-baptiste Menigoz and gathers a few producers of the region making natural wine and Jura wine lovers including dedicated importers. The website states that Jura is the organic-most wine region of France as of 2014, with 14 % of the vineyard surface farmed organic, versus 8 % nationwide.
This year because of the lockdown this was not possible to have the wine fair in march but they could not bring themselves to go without anything in 2020 and decided to set something up in summer, when things eased, with 23 vignerons among the 48 organic growers of the region. They didn't communicate too much about this improvised fair that took place the 14th of July, so that there weren't crowds, plus they spread the tasting in 4 locations including Les Bottes Rouges (more details here). the fee for the day was a mere 2 €, can you believe that ? Jura rocks...
We showed up at the end of the day after these exciting visits at several domaines, just in time for the barbecue and friendly dinner, sharing the long tables with some of the best vignerons of Jura, what a treat! For the wines there was such a choice I limited myself (so to say...) to the reds so as not to finish on my knees. Here are a few pics of this evening, I put my job on the side for a few hours and didn't take any notes, sorry...
J espere de venir l annee prochaine a Le nez dans le vert. merci
