Climate and soil	Jura's climate is continental, characterized by long, cold winters and warm, sunny summers. This climatic condition, coupled with the region's diverse soils - ranging from marl to limestone and clay - contributes to the unique flavor profiles of Jura wines. The soils rich in minerals provide optimal conditions for the cultivation of a variety of grapes, while the region's cool climate allows for a slow, prolonged ripening period, which enhances the complexity and depth of the wines produced here. The higher altitude vineyards often experience cooler temperatures and greater rainfall, resulting in wines with higher acidity and distinctive minerality.
