After working at the family domaine in Nevy-Sur-Seille, Jean-Luc Mouillard founded his own in 1991 after graduating in oenology in Beaune. Over the years, the Domaine grew and moved to Mantry, a village in the heart of the Jura. Today, together with his wife Annie and son Mathieu, he manages 11 hectares of vineyards divided into 3 appellations: Château-Chalon, L’Etoile and Côtes du Jura. In order to respect the environment, Jean-Luc has always practiced integrated pest management, which consists of field observation, insect counting, and the preservation of auxiliary fauna, making it possible to optimize and reduce the use of plant protection products. The land, on the other hand, is worked in alternating rows to limit overproduction and avoid compaction. The estate vineyards are spread over different types of soils: clays, marls and limestone banks. In some vineyards, particularly in Mantry and Château-Chalon, some fossils can also be found. Always attentive to respecting the environment and applying, since 2020, the dictams of organic farming, Jean-Luc now produces traditional “sous voile” white wines, fresh “ouillè” wines (produced by topping up the barrels preventing oxidation by “flor” yeasts), red wines and Crémants, of pure territorial impact.
