Type: White
Appellation: Château-Chalon
Region: Jura
Country: France
Grapes: Savagnin
Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, low tannin, high acidity, dry
Château-Chalon is the Jura appellation for vin jaune alone: Savagnin aged at least six years and three months in barrel under a veil of flor yeast, without topping up, and released in the squat 62 cl clavelin. This is the Maire family's bottling. Bold and oxidative: toasted walnut, curry spice and fenugreek with dried apricot, beeswax and a green-apple edge, on searing acidity and a very long, salty finish. Among the longest-lived dry white wines.
Serving: Serve at 10–12 °C.
