About this wine
Jours Brumeux is L'Oiseau Rôdeur's classic Jura white blend, 75% Chardonnay and 25% Savagnin, the canonical pairing of the region. Marie Menoux and Thomas Rougier started the 4-hectare Poligny estate in 2021 after training at notable Jura natural-wine cellars (Les Pieds sur Terre, Les Bottes Rouges, Nicolas Jacob). The cellar protocol on every cuvée is identical: native-yeast fermentation, no fining or filtration, no added sulphur. The Triassic-marl substrate around Poligny lends the saline, almost bitter-edged tension that distinguishes serious Jura whites from their Burgundian cousins to the west. 12% alcohol gives a brisk, low-key white built around acid and minerality rather than ripeness or oak.
