Domaine Jubare

Domaine Jubare is a newly established Burgundy producer in the Mâconnais, founded in 2022 by Justine Vichard and Barthélemy Gruot. What sets them apart is their commitment to biodynamic conversion and B-Corp certification—a real mark of their long-term pledge to environmental and social responsibility. They've taken over vineyards that were previously La Soufrandise, and from their 2023 debut vintage, they're making wines that reflect their philosophy: respect nature first, and the wine will express its place.

About Domaine Jubare

Barthélemy grew up in Beaune and understands Burgundy's winemaking heritage intimately. Justine spent the last decade working across French wineries, vine nurseries, and with distributors—she brings practical expertise to every decision. Together, they've divided their six hectares by aspect and soil type, with each parcel farmed to suit its specific conditions. Four hectares are classified as Pouilly-Fuissé AOC, with vines ranging from 50 to 100 years old. This age yields concentrated fruit that adds real complexity and depth to their wines.

Their winemaking is detail-oriented and minimal-intervention. Harvest is done entirely by hand. Grapes are gently whole-bunch-pressed before fermentation, and they avoid sulphur during winemaking—a minimal dosage occurs only when the wine is prepared for bottling. The Mâcon-Fuissé comes from 30 to 40-year-old vines in the 'Les Rontets' lieu-dit and ferments in stainless steel for 12 months, preserving the natural freshness and minerality of the site. The Pouilly-Fuissé draws from eleven separate parcels, vinified individually in stainless steel, then aged 12 months with half in stainless steel and half in used 300L oak barrels—a balance that brings richness without overwhelming the fruit. This approach means you're tasting the vineyard, not the winemaker's ego.

Domaine Jubare Wines in Our Collection

It's a wine for early drinking—fresh, mineral-driven, perfect when you want Burgundy character without heavy oak. The 2023 Pouilly-Fuissé (91 points, Jancis Robinson) has a fresh citrus nose with hints of fennel and honey, backed by a generous palate with precise mineral freshness. This is the more textured sibling, with that touch of used oak bringing weight and development potential. Both are dry Chardonnays from the same soil and vintage, so choose the Mâcon-Fuissé for brightness, the Pouilly-Fuissé when you want something with slightly more body and structure.

Food Pairing

The Mâcon-Fuissé pairs beautifully with oysters, shellfish, and delicate white fish—its minerality and acidity cut through briny and buttery preparations. Try it with crayfish in cream sauce or scallops with lemon. The Pouilly-Fuissé handles richer dishes: roasted chicken, pâté, creamy mushroom risotto, or aged Comté cheese. Both work well with goat's cheese and lighter vegetable gratins.

Is Domaine Jubare certified organic?

They're undergoing biodynamic conversion and earned B-Corp certification in 2025, demonstrating long-term commitment to environmental and social sustainability.

How old are the vines at Domaine Jubare?

Pouilly-Fuissé vines range 50–100 years old. Mâcon-Fuissé (Les Rontets) vines are 30–40 years old. Older vines yield more concentrated fruit and complexity.
