About the Winery
Philippe Butin is a wine producer in Lavigny, in the Côtes du Jura appellation. The village of Lavigny sits in the Revermont foothills, where the Jura meets the Burgundy region. Philippe Butin crafts wines from the traditional Jura grape varieties including Chardonnay, Savagnin, Pinot Noir, Poulsard, and Trousseau. The Côtes du Jura appellation covers a wide range of wine styles, from fresh whites and light reds to the oxidative Vin Jaune and sweet Vin de Paille. The soils in this area are a mix of clay-limestone and marl, which contribute to the wines' complexity and mineral character.
