The wine region of Château-Chalon
Ultra-exclusive Jura AOC (~60 ha, 250–400 m, steep south-west slopes, Liassic clay-limestone marls): exclusive Savagnin in the signature amber vin jaune — penetrating aromas of walnut, apple, candied fruits, curry (sotolon), gentle spices and saline minerality, exceptionally persistent finish. Aged under voile for at least 6 years 3 months in unsealed barrels, bottled in a 62 cl clavelin. Near-centennial longevity, Benedictine heritage.
The wine region of Jura
Unique Franche-Comté region between Burgundy and Switzerland, incomparable oxidative identity. Signature mythical Vin Jaune from Savagnin: aged 6 years 3 months in cask under flor, intense whites with signature green walnut, curry, cumin, russet apple, honey and lingering iodine — 62 cl clavelin, century-long ageing. Also classic topped-up Chardonnay (citrus, butter), pale light Poulsard red (strawberry, undergrowth), dense Trousseau, fine Pinot Noir. Sweet Vin de Paille.
The word of the wine: Tertiary aromas
Aromas resulting from the aging of the wine in the bottle. The aromas evolve with time, from fresh fruitiness to notes of stewed, candied or dried fruit, to aromas of venison or undergrowth.
