Domaine Christophe & Yoann Perrin

Domaine Christophe & Yoann Perrin

We’re thrilled to introduce a new range of Côtes du Jura wines from Domaine Christophe & Yoann Perrin in Vernantois. Founded by Christophe in 1998 with 2ha farmed by his father the domaine is now in the hands of Yoann Perrin since 2022. Before returning to the Val de Sorne, Yoann expanded his experience in Burgundy at Domaines Ramonet (Chassagne-Montrachet) and Tollot-Beaut (Chorey-Les-Beaune).

Yoann works with passion and a strong connection to the land. His objective is clear; it is not to control nature, but to accompany it – finding the balance of intervention and respect to show the personality of each vintage. The wines indubitably show the freshness & tension typical to the region. He independently farms 8ha of vineyards, growing Savagnin, Chardonnay, Poulsard, Trousseau and Pinot Noir. The scenic hilltop slopes go up to 300m elevation, composed of marl from the Jurassic and Triassic period. Until the French revolution, the vineyards of Vernantois were part of an ancient estate that belonged to the abbey of Saint-Claude and were among the largest area of production in Jura.
