Both trained as sommeliers at the Lycée Hôtelier in Poligny and gathered wide-ranging experience before embarking on their own project: Anne-Cécile worked in Paris and with François Rousset-Martin in Jura, while Marc honed his skills internationally, in London, Valence, Ecuador, and with Thomas Pico in Chablis. Marc launched the estate in 2022, and Anne-Cécile joined full-time in 2024, marking the true beginning of Maison des Saules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe estate now cultivates around five hectares across Villeneuve-sous-Pymont, Savagna, and L’Étoile, in gently sloping, amphitheatre-like vineyards on grey marl soils. The vineyards are in a gradual renewal phase: some are already producing fruit, while others are just beginning, complemented by initiatives to enhance biodiversity, including a new orchard. Farming is organic and biodynamic, grounded in the belief that wine is born first and foremost in the vineyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinemaking is natural, carried out in cellars at Perrigny and Chille. Whites ferment spontaneously and are then aged in used oak barrels; Savagnin, in particular, is often aged for 24–36 months to develop depth, complexity, and finesse. The estate’s backbone lies in long-aged Chardonnay and Savagnin. All wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered, producing wines that are honest, lively, and patient, the hallmark of the finest Jura whites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaison des Saules tells a story of returning to roots, guided by quiet ambition and a steadfast dedication to expressing the exceptional terroirs of Jura.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"La Maison des Saules","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55793282810147,"sku":null,"price":84.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/4226\/8358\/files\/8C433149-F23E-4CF7-92E0-0BE4C6DBFD79.jpg?v=1792273359","url":"https:\/\/terroirizer.wine\/products\/la-maison-des-saules-au-poirier-2023","provider":"Terroirizer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
