About The Wine
Elise and Emeric Foleat at Vignerons Les Mathenys are devotees of the legendary Jacques Puffeney, Emeric having worked alongside him for eight years.
This rare Vin Jaune, with many years under its yeast veil, is unashamedly Puffeneyan... massively powerful, saline and rich, with a long, long life ahead..
About Vignernos Les Mathenys
After having spent eight years working for Jacques Puffeney before going out on his own, Emeric Foléat and his partner Elise began Les Matheny. Both natives of Jura, they named their estate after their tiny home village of Matheny.
Today, their holdings encompass three and a half hectares of vines spread across Arbois, Montigny-les-Arsures, and Poligny.
Having converted an old, rustic farmhouse into their winery, they work without the aids of modern technology. There is no recipe or format, rather each year, and vintage, dictates the nature of their winemaking style. A cask or two might be kept under voile for an extra-long time if the underlying material proves worthy. Topping up barrels may occur occasionally, based solely on taste and instinct.

From The Importer
Jura White - Savignan. A truly unique wine. Aged in 600 litre barrels for six years with no topping. During this time the wine creates a film of yeast called flor, just as you would see in Sherry. The result is an incredibly nutty, salty wine that is bewildering. It matches perfectly with the local dish of Coq au Vin Jaune, and the world famous Comté cheese. As the wine evaporates (the ‘angels share’ as it is called) it concentrates. This is why a Vin Jaune bottle is 620ml instead of 750ml. If you have not tried Vin Jaune then be brave and try.

Do we price match? Yes, within reason. Everyday low & consistent pricing is something we strongly believe in. We want our customers to feel confident they are always getting the best price. If you see a price lower somewhere else let us know and we'll consider matching it. We'll even retrospectively issue you store credit if you have already purchased from us but you see a lower price somewhere later on. Our price match policy can be seen here.
Can coupons and discounts be stacked? No, only one discount or coupon can be applied to an order at once.
I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine. So for example, if the website will only allow you to add 3 bottles and no more, then that is all we have of that particular wine. The good news is we may be able to order more for you. Just contact us on 02 8376 8775 or hello@differentdrop.com and we'll organise the additional quantity for you.
Does Different Drop have a physical store? No. Just an a warehouse/office. We occasionally do events however, so sign up to our newsletter or follow us on instagram to stay in the loop.
Can I special order a wine you do not sell? If it’s doable, then we’ll make it happen. Just contact us directly via phone, chat or email and we’ll find out for you right away. Please note that in most cases special orders such as these will need to be in full case lots (6 or 12 bottles).
