Jura holiday house: Passenans

The region: The near region 'Bresse' as well as the Jura mountain are offering many opportunities for hiking, biking and horse riding. You will discover the 'reculées' with their waterfalls and caves. The lakes and rivers inviting to bathing or fishing. Further you might visit the interesting salt plants of Arc-et-Senans and Salins, the typical towns like Arbois and Dole, the Abbey of Baume-les-Messieurs as well as the many lovely villages with small churches of roman art and castles, testimony of an exiting past. In the close surrounding fields, forest and small rivers offer an exiting playground for children.

Wines and vineyard: The Jura wines are not very well known, however they offer some interesting rarities. 'Vin Jaune', the yellow wine has been developed by the nuns of Chateau-Chalon. Based on the grape 'savagnin', this wine is matured 6 years in oakcasks, before being bottled in a specific bootle called 'clavelin'. This wine with walnuts aromas is surprising at first taste. From the grapes 'Savagnin and Chardonnay', the winters make a dry white wine, and from the grapes 'poulsard', 'trousseau' and 'pinot noir', they produce a fresh red wine with light colour. You can also taste some other specialities like 'Macvin' and 'Vin de paille', straw-wine at the facilities of most winters. Further, the Burgundy region is only one driving hour away.
