Côtes du Jura covers villages and slopes beyond the narrower appellations of Arbois, Château-Chalon and L'Étoile. Small estates work hillside sites across this wider area, growing Chardonnay, Savagnin, Poulsard, Trousseau and Pinot Noir.

Elsewhere in Jura
- Arbois15 producersArbois is Jura's broadest appellation, covering whites, reds and oxidative wines. Chardonnay, Savagnin, Poulsard, Trousseau and Pinot Noir all appear here, across village sites on limestone and marl.
- Château-Chalon6 producersChâteau-Chalon is a small Jura appellation devoted to Vin Jaune from Savagnin. It ages for years beneath a veil of yeast before bottling in a squat bottle called a clavelin.
- L'Étoile3 producersL'Étoile is a small Jura appellation for Chardonnay and Savagnin whites. Some wines are kept away from air by topping up their vessels; others, including Vin Jaune, age with exposure to oxygen. The vineyards grow on limestone and marl.
