Les Bottes Rouges

Les Bottes Rouges is a charming boutique winery located in the serene winegrowing region of Jura, in Eastern France. Nestled amidst lush green vineyards, it boasts of delivering exquisite biodynamic wines to discerning wine connoisseurs since 2001.

The winery was named "Les Bottes Rouges" symbolising the founder Jean-Baptiste Menigoz's relentless passion for his crafts - filmmaking and winemaking. The name translates to 'The Red Boots', a tribute to the boots he wore while shooting movies and tending to his grapevines.

The winery primarily focuses on producing natural wines through organic farming methods, owed to Jean-Baptiste's stern belief that this produces wines of a higher calibre. Delving away from the industrial norm, and focusing instead on cultivating healthy soil, treating the vines with care and adhering closely to sustainable farming principles.

Les Bottes Rouges is famed for unveiling wines that embody the distinctive characteristics and timeless beauty of the Jura terroir. The winery’s flagship output includes savagnin, a distinct indigenous white grape varietal and the quintessential red ploussard. Each bottle narrates a unique tale of the region’s rich history, brimming with captivating nuances of flavours that leave wine connoisseurs constantly yearning for more.

Worth mentioning is the minimal intervention approach adopted in the winery, where natural yeasts are utilised for fermentation, and minimal or no sulphur is added during the production process. This not only maintains the innate purity of the varietals but also ensures that each wine reflects the authenticity of its origins.

Furthermore Les Bottes Rouges welcomes visitors to explore the vineyards and the age-old cellars where each wine is a celebration of the region's viticultural heritage. The winery's tastings have been polished to offer an immersive and unforgettable experience that's sure to leave a lasting mark on every palate.
