An AOC area in the heart of the Jura wine-growing region in eastern France. To the north lies the Château-Chalon AOC. The vineyards cover around 75 hectares of vineyard area across the four communes of L’Etoile, Plainoiseau, Quintigny and Saint-Didier. The name (Etoile = star) is derived from the fossil fragments found in abundance in the marl soil there. These are the stems of flower-shaped sea lilies in the shape of five-pointed stars.

The white wine is a blend of the Chardonnay, Poulsard and Savagnin grape varieties. The AOC L’Etoile Mousseux covers bottle-fermented sparkling wine, the AOC L’Etoile Vin de Paille covers sweet Vin de paille (straw wine) made from the same grape varieties, whilst the AOC L’Etoile Vin Jaunerefers to a Vin Jaune made from the Savagnin variety.
