Arbois is an Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée for wines made in the Jura wine region of France, around the town of Arbois.Many vineyard slopes are quite steep which creates problems with soil erosion. Deposits of marl are scattered throughout the region with some of the area's most regarded vineyards being found on those sites. The vineyard soils tend to be composed of mostly clay in the lower flat lands with more limestone based soils in the higher elevation. The towns of Lons-le-Saunier and Arbois are the principal cities in the wine region. The majority of the region's vineyards are found at altitudes between 820 and 1,310 ft (250-400 m) between the plains of the Bresse region and the Jura Mountains. To help lessen the threat of autumn frost, grapevines are often trained to the Guyot system. Ripeness levels of the grapes is always a concern for winemakers of the area and harvest times are often delayed as long as possible (usually well into late October) to try to achieve the highest sugar levels possible. The climate of Jura is continental with many similarities to Burgundy but can be more aggressively cold, especially in the winter time.
