Why it matters
The producer
La Maison du Vigneron operates through the Marcel Cabelier, Domaine de Savagny and François Montand brands. Domaine de Savagny is an HVE certified estate, while the wider company works with local winemaking families across the Jura.
Its range covers the principal Jura appellation categories, including Côtes du Jura, Château-Chalon, L'Étoile, Arbois, Macvin du Jura, Crémant du Jura and Marc du Jura. Marcel Cabelier Macvin du Jura provides the most specific bottle focus, with white and red versions documented in the range.
Place and vineyards
Where the wines begin
Jura appellation names place the bottles in distinct regional categories. Côtes du Jura, Château-Chalon, L'Étoile and Arbois identify still wine appellations, while Crémant du Jura names the sparkling category, Macvin du Jura the Macvin category, and Marc du Jura the regional marc spirit.
Crançot is home to the Hall Vin Jaune tasting facility. Vineyard visits with tastings take place on plots in Baume-les-Messieurs and Menétru-le-Vignoble, linking the appellation names to working vineyard locations.
In the cellar
Vineyards and cellar
Domaine de Savagny encompasses 62 hectares and holds HVE status. Haute Valeur Environnementale is an environmental certification for agricultural operations, covering the way a farm manages its surrounding resources.
Marcel Cabelier Macvin du Jura is aged in oak for 12 to 16 months. Oak ageing allows gradual oxygen exposure and can add wood spice while softening the wine's texture.
Wines to know
The range in view
La Maison du Vigneron produces the complete Jura range: Côtes du Jura, Château-Chalon, L'Étoile, Arbois, Macvin du Jura, Crémant du Jura and Marc du Jura. The portfolio therefore moves across still wine appellations, sparkling wine, Macvin and marc.
Marcel Cabelier carries both white and red Macvin du Jura versions. The white and red labels give the same category two different colour and flavour directions, while the other appellation names widen the range beyond Macvin.
