Didier Grappe
Didier Grappe has been making wines in Saint-Lothain, Jura, France since 2001. With organic and biodynamic plots scattered around the Côte du Jura appellation, he focuses on maintaining a healthy ecosystem which allow the vines to express their unique clay-limestone terroir in the bottle.

Behind the Bottle
With different terroirs on his land, Didier Grappe bottles his wines by plot — the Novelin plot is calcerous limestone, while the Longefin plot is densely packed clay.
Using only spontaneous fermentation and absolutely zero sulfites, he uses both stainless steel and old barrels depending on what's needed for the specific vintage. A vocal advocate for planting resistant hybrid grape varieties, he’s blurring the line between tradition and progressiveness, blazing a new path in Jura.
