The estate and the wine |
|
|
The Fumey-Chatelain estate, an artisanal estate in Montigny-lès-Arsures near Arbois, has become a favorite among Jura wine enthusiasts. Known for its exciting cuvées that naturally and elegantly express the Arbois identity, this estate is a must-visit for wine lovers.
Now managed by Marin Fumey, the son, and practicing organic viticulture, the vineyard is making remarkable strides. This year, it made a notable entry in the RVF Guide, recognized for its wines that exude clarity and cheerfulness, crafted from ripe, noble grapes. |

More than convincing, the 2016 white Arbois Vin Jaune is a stellar example of success and completeness in this style of wine aged under a veil. From old vines planted on powerful marl soils, this accomplished wine expresses the rich, biscuit-like and spicy character of the grape variety. It offers a profusion of flavors such as lemon, walnut, almond, green apple, and cumin-like spices. Supported by a superb acidic structure, it bursts with power and length, marked by intense freshness and rich texture. Rated 95/100 by RVF. |
