Domaine des Ronces is a small family business in the French Jura. They make all the types of wine the Jura is famous for, from oxidative white to sparkling and intensely sweet Vin de Paille. The business is run by Kevin Mazier and his father Michel. They farm entirely biodynamically, and since 2016 their wines have been Demeter certified.
Domaine des Ronces was founded in 1950 by Georges Mazier, who bought a 1-hectare plot of land and planted it with Chardonnay. The vineyard lies near the town of Orbagna, in the southern part of the French Jura, and carries the Côtes du Jura appellation. Over the years the vineyards have been expanded step by step to about 6 hectares today.
The takeover of the estate by Michel, Georges's son, in 1986, led to a number of changes. Alongside Chardonnay, Michel also planted white Savagnin and red Poulsard, Trousseau and Pinot Noir. He also switched entirely to organic farming in 2010, for which he received certification in 2013.
In 2016, Michel's son Kevin joined the business, and that same year they obtained Demeter certification as a biodynamic winery. Biodynamics goes a few steps further than organic farming - the position of the stars influences the choices the winemakers make, and they use, for example, natural, plant-based fertilizer to improve the quality of the subsoil and topsoil of the vineyard.
Kevin and Michel make all the types of wine the Jura is famous for: oxidative and non-oxidative white wines, red wines from Poulsard, Trousseau and Pinot Noir, sparkling wine, Vin Jaune, Vin de Paille and the fortified Macvin. We currently have seven wines from Domaine des Ronces in our range. You can view all our wines from Domaine des Ronces here.
