Based in Montigny les Arsures, widely known as the home of Trousseau, the Gahier family has been in the Jura since 1525.

Sometimes known as the protegรฉe of famed Jura producer Jacques Puffeney, it is clear after just a few exchanges that Michel Gahier was a singular winemaker in his own right. Throughout his 35+ vintages, Gahier's philosophy remains the same: nothing added, and nothing taken away. He harvests and vinifies all wines parcel by parcel. Each wine ultimately is derived exclusively from a single vineyard site. The white wines are layered and complex while his reds are fresh, mineral driven, and energetic.

What importer Rosenthal Wine Merchant has to say about this wine...

Always the greatest of Michelโ€™s white wines, โ€œLa Fauquetteโ€ (from soils of marne bleu) spends four years in 400-liter barrels without being topped up. Despite the marked influence of the voile, however, it is the most elegant of Gahierโ€™s whites: viscerally salty and rich, but with the finesse of great Corton-Charlemagne. Called Melon, the vines are of the local variety of Chardonnay known as โ€œMelon ร  Queue Rougeโ€, a white grape the skin color of which bleeds towards red as it approaches the stem.
