Art 3. -

August 10, 1994) - to have right respectively to the appellation contrôlées “Côtes du Jura” and “Coasts of the sparkling Jura” 1, the wines must come from collected grapes with good maturity and present a minimum natural voluminal title alcoholometric of: 10% for the red wines, rosy and white; 9,5% for the sparkling wines 1; 11% for the yellow wines. Cannot be regarded as being with good maturity any unit batch of vintage having a high content in sugar lower than: 153 grams per liter of must for the red, rosy and white wines; 144 grams per liter of must for the sparkling wines 1; 192 grams per liter of must for the yellow wines. Moreover, when the authorization of enrichment by dry sugaring is granted, the wines should not exceed a total voluminal alcoholometric title of 13% for the red and rosy wines, of 13,5% for the white wines and 13% for the sparkling wines 1, before addition of dose, under penalty of losing the right to name considered. However, the benefit of one or the other of names referred to above can be granted to the wines of a total voluminal title alcoholometric higher than the limits referred to above and worked out without any enrichment, if the informant justifies of a certificate issued by the national Institute of the labels of origin of the wines and brandies after investigation carried out into his request presented before the vintage of the vines concerned. The notifications of the exemptions aimed to the preceding subparagraph must be addressed to the local services of the general direction of the taxes and the direction of the consumption and the repression of the frauds. The limits aimed to the subparagraphs above can be modified when the climatic conditions justify it by joint decree of the Minister for agriculture and the minister in charge with the budget and consumption, on proposal of the national Institute of the labels of origin of the wines and brandies, after opinion of the interested producers' associations. The wines known as “of straw” must result from grapes gathered in good condition medical, with physiological maturity, and have during harvest a minimum natural voluminal title alcoholometric and a high content in sugars by unit batch of vintage corresponding to those planned for the red, rosy or white wines. The wines known as “of straw” should be the subject of no enrichment. At the moment of pressing, the grapes must have a high content in sugars higher than 306 grams per liter of must.

The wines known as “yellow wines” will have to come exclusively from the wine making of the grapes of savagnin (or naturé), comprising a sluggish fermentation, followed, before the setting in bottles and after racking, of an ageing out of barrel without ullaging one minimum duration six years, making it possible the wine to acquire the “taste of yellow”. (Modified, D. August 10, 1994) - the grapes intended for the development of the wines known as “of straw” must be put to dry for one six weeks minimal length of time on beds of straw or trays or suspended in ventilated buildings naturally or artificially; in this case, ventilation always intervening at the temperature of the surrounding air.

They will have to be presented, tasted and to be approved with the analytical and organoleptic examination envisaged by the decree n° 74-871 of October 19, 1974 under their particular mention. This examination analytical and organoleptic will be able to take place only in the six months which precedes the release to the market. However, the wines collected before December 31, 1996 will be able to have undergone only one two years minimum ageing from the pressing, including twelve month under wood. In this case, the analytical and organoleptic examination will be done in the two months preceding the release to the market.
