Organic Poulsard bottled without added sulphur, listed at 18.90 euros for the 2023. The cheapest route into the zero-sulphur end of the Jura without going to the allocation-only natural growers.
Tip: No-sulphur bottles travel badly in a hot car. Buy it if you are driving home the same week, and keep it cold from the cellar door onward.
Organic Savagnin raised ouille, topped up like Burgundy so no veil forms, at 20.50 euros for the 2022. The straight-fruit half of the Jura white argument, from a grape most people only meet under the voile.
Tip: Put it next to the domaine's Savagnin Type, aged the other way at 26.90 euros, and the sous voile against ouille split stops being an abstraction.
The house white of a family domaine on Pupillin's main street, at 13.50 euros. The cellar sells Monday to Saturday and is the easiest walk-in tasting in the village.
Tip: The cellar closes on Sundays and public holidays all year apart from the Easter weekend, so do not plan a Sunday visit to Pupillin around it.
Single-lieu-dit Chardonnay from Pupillin at 16.90 euros. Named for the Grapiot parcel, it is the bottle to take if you want to see what the village's red marls do to a white grape.
Tip: The domaine's Cuvee S orange Savagnin sits on the same shelf at 17 euros. Between them they cover both directions Pupillin has taken since the 1990s.
The cheapest way into Jura Chardonnay. The growers' cellar at Le Vernois lists the 2023 at 10.80 euros, which is below what most Burgundy village wine costs before it leaves the cellar.
Tip: Taste it beside the Tradition and the Savagnin in the same room before you choose. The cellar is a kilometre from Domaine Baud and Hubert Clavelin, so the three make one stop.
The Savagnin and Chardonnay blend the Jura calls Tradition, listed at 13.90 euros for the 2023. The standard house white of the region, and the bottle to try before paying vin jaune money.
Tip: This is the style that divides people. Buy one bottle, drink it with Comte rather than on its own, and decide from there whether the sous voile whites are for you.
Pale, light-bodied Jura red from the village that ties its name to the grape. The cooperative lists the 2023 at 11.10 euros, which makes it the cheapest serious Ploussard you will find at source.
Tip: Serve it cool. The barrel-aged Plouss'Art sits beside it at 13.90 euros if you want to see what oak does to the same fruit.
