Domaine Jean-Luc Mouillard

Domaine Jean-Luc Mouillard is a family run winery in the Jura region of Eastern France. Located between Burgundy and the Swiss border, Jura is France’s smallest wine region and is home to some of the country’s most distinctive wines.


Jean-Luc Mouillard, whose parents were both cooperative vine growers and dairy farmers producing milk for Comté cheese, pursued a degree in Oenology in Beaune, France. After completing his studies in 1991, he returned home with his wife Annie to Jura, assuming responsibility for his family's estate vineyard in Nevy-Sur-Seille. Initially working three hectares of vines, they gradually expanded the estate and relocated to the village of Mantry, where they purchased a historic 16th-century house with wine cellars. By 2005, they further modernised their operations by constructing a state-of-the-art winery on the property.


Today, Domaine Jean-Luc Mouillard spans 27 hectares across three appellations: Château-Chalon, L'Étoile, and Côtes du Jura. Dedicated to sustainable farming from the start, Jean-Luc has always avoided the use of pesticides and chemical fertilisers. In 2020, he began transitioning to organic viticulture, and officially received certification in 2023. In the cellar they opt for low-intervention practices using traditional Jura techniques such as sous voile, meaning "under a veil" which involves a layer of yeast developing on the surface of the wine during maturation and not topping the barrels like you would normally to get an oxidative style wine.


Combining tradition, innovation, and a focus on terroir, Domaine Jean-Luc Mouillard wines are really something unique and special, they show great fruit concentration, minerality and fantastic length.

Producer Fact SheetDetails

"The expressive 2019 L'Étoile Sélection wafts up from the glass with intense bread dough, walnuts, dried lemon zest and a pinch of white pepper. Full-bodied and concentrated, the 2019 is a well-made, oxidatively aged L'Étoile with plenty of substance. A long and nutty finish brings it home." 90 points, Nicolas Greinacher, Vinous (July 2024)


(Le Curieux 2020) "Such an interesting nose.. The very first impression is its white-citrus-drenched, firm, three-dimensional structure. It's dramatic, uncompromising. But this is not a severe wine. Every space is filled with chamomile flowers, talc, bergamot, quinine bitters, brine. The fruit may taste like green peaches but it comes with an implosion of sherbet. It reverberates with its own electric current and fills every space, every corner, every pause." 17.5 points, Tamlyn Currin, JancisRobinson.com (September 2023)
