Amélie Guillot relocated from her native Burgundy to the Jura in 1995 after completing an oenology diploma, where she purchased 2ha of 40-year-old vines surrounded by wooded hillsides and apple trees.
She farms by hand using biodynamic principles, and from her micro-winery – a ramshackle ruin in the isolated village of Molamboz – Amélie crafts a thrilling roster of classically-styled Jura specialities. After slow pressing and fermentation using indigenous yeasts, her wines undergo extended ageing in old barrels.
