Domaine Phusis — Mastering natural wines in the Jura
Located in Jura, Domaine Phusis, led by Steve Bettschen, is known for its committed natural wine production. Steve works passionately with biodynamic and organic vineyards, focusing on native varieties like Savagnin, Poulsard, and Trousseau.
The estate practices respectful viticulture that nurtures biodiversity and soil health, with manual work and hand-harvesting to fully express Jura’s limestone soils and mountain influences.
Philosophy and winemaking
Fermentations are spontaneous, with no commercial yeasts added, little or no sulfur, and extended aging in barrels or tanks depending on the vintage and grape variety. Minimal cellar intervention reveals pure fruit, freshness, and the natural energy of the wines.
Wine style
Phusis wines stand out for their liveliness, aromatic transparency, and vibrant freshness. From light, fruity reds to mineral whites and complex orange wines, they offer a sincere, dynamic tasting experience that perfectly reflects Jura’s terroirs.
