Jean-Michel Jussiaume / Maison Jussiaume {Medford}
When asked about local, authentic French foods, Rogue Valley winemaker Jean-Michel Jussiaume cut to the chase: “No one can argue that a great French meal can only be made of a great bread, butter and cheese — and wine, of course.” He suggests his friends, baker Philippe Garcia and cheesemonger Melodie Picard.

Sunset International 2021 Wine Competition awarded Maison Jussiaume 2019 Oeil de Perdrix Rosé “Best Sparkling.” Winemaker Jean-Michel Jussiaume says, “With an almost perfect score of 99 points, it represents the first time an Oregon wine has won this award in the competition’s history.”
