Story
Morel Valentin
Jura · Jura · France
After earning a degree in international law, Valentin realised his true passion was in winemaking. He travelled to Alsace to learn the craft, influenced by producers like Bruno Schueller and Pierre Frick. In 2014, Valentin took over his family domain, quickly introducing simplified cultivation techniques to improve vineyard management. He is now responsible for 6 hectares of vineyards, cultivating Chardonnay, Savagnin, Pinot, Trousseau, and Poulsard. Valentin's winemaking approach is marked by minimal intervention, aiming to produce 'true wines' without unnecessary additives.
“Reds are destemmed, macerated, and aged in stainless steel tanks, while whites are pressed, fermented, and aged in barriques.”
Valentin's commitment goes beyond winemaking; he strives for positive change in his community. His wines reflect his dedication to quality and sustainability, embodying his broader mission to support and uplift small-scale farming.
