Jean-Baptiste Menigoz began to acquire parcels in both Arbois and Abergement, which are quite possibly the closest vineyards in the Côtes de Jura AOC to Arbois. His big break was when he was afforded the opportunity to secure 2.5ha of vines, and he has steadily grown the estate to its current size of seven different plots of vines, comprising 7ha total. Soils in his parcels range from limestone in some, to various types of heavy clay and marl in others. Strict organic principles were applied from the beginning, and experiments with biodynamic treatments are ongoing based on each vineyards individual needs.
