Didier Grappe and Hybrid Grapes
Hybrid grapes is something Didier Grappe is known for, one of the 2-3 producers in all of Jura with natural wine (alongside Domaine de la Touraize and Valentin Morel of Le Pieds sur Terre) who believes they are the future for Jura. For Didier, he hates to spray any chemicals or sulphur and copper on his vines, which Hybrid vines do not need, as they are resistant to diseases.
Didier has in fact said he will never plant another non-Hybrid vine in the Jura again, but will continue to farm his traditional Jura varietals. This Seyve-Villard is one of his most popular Hybrid wines.
