Domaine Ratte: A Biodynamic Jewel at the Heart of the AOC Arbois
Located in the heart of the Arbois commune, in the picturesque Jura region, Domaine Ratte embodies the very essence of the Jura terroir through an exceptional biodynamic wine production. Renowned for its commitment to nature and the purity of its wines, the Ratte family, consisting of Michel-Henri, Françoise, and their son, continues a winemaking tradition distinguished by a passion for authenticity and respect for the soil.
An Exceptional Terroir: A Unique Mosaic
The estate is spread over several emblematic plots in the region: Les Corvées, Grand Curoulet, Bésivette, Prélevront, La Régole, Clos Maire, and La Bergère. Each of these parcels has been meticulously chosen for the unique characteristics of its terroir, allowing the vines to fully express themselves and give birth to wines that precisely reflect the richness and diversity of these soils.
This mosaic of terroirs, composed of blue and grey marls, fossils, chalk, and gryphaea, is a true treasure for the winemakers. It offers a geological complexity that is reflected in the depth and elegance of the wines produced. The soils, rich in fossils and minerals, bring an incomparable minerality and freshness to the estate’s wines, whether white or red.
The Art of Biodynamics: A Respectful Viticulture
Certified by Demeter, Domaine Ratte is a pioneer of biodynamics in the region. Biodynamics, more than just a farming method, is a philosophy that guides every gesture of the estate's winemakers. Biodynamic practices help preserve the vitality of the soil and promote the natural balance of the vine. The result is grapes of exceptional quality, harvested at optimal maturity, producing wines of rare purity.
The wines of Domaine Ratte are distinguished by their finesse, precision, and ability to express the unique character of each parcel. The whites, mainly from grape varieties like Chardonnay and Savagnin, offer a rich aromatic palette and vibrant minerality, while the reds, made from Pinot Noir and Trousseau, reveal remarkable elegance and depth.
A Family Legacy and a Vision for the Future
The work of Michel-Henri, Françoise, and their son goes beyond wine production. It is part of a commitment to transmission and respect for traditions while looking to the future. The estate embodies a modern vision of viticulture, where innovation harmonizes with respect for natural cycles and ancestral methods.
In short, Domaine Ratte is much more than just a winery. It is a true jewel where nature and man work in symbiosis to offer wines that are the pure expression of the Jura terroir. A visit to Domaine Ratte is not only a discovery of exceptional wines but also an immersion into a world where every detail counts, and every bottle tells a unique story.
