Jura: Chateau Chalon

Also interesting about Jura is that it has one of the smallest regions for wine growing - less than 2000 hectacres for all of Jura, and there are six regions within Jura. One of the most important (and some say, the one that makes the best yellow wine) is Chateau-Chalon, which was originally an Abbey on top of a plateau.

The place is probably half the size of Broad Ripple proper, but it is literally surrounded by vineyards. And the views were absolutely amazing.
