Arbois No Sin Tou Tsefs Fumey-Chatelain 2023

The wine

No Sin Tou Tsefs (meaning We are all in charge) is a distinctively subtle blend of local grape varieties Poulsard and Pinot Noir. The nose enraptures the senses with aromas of red berry fruits and redcurrants, enhanced by spiced notes. On the palate, its fresh, fruity character emerges fully, offering an instantly delicious and appealing taste. The finish is fresh and dapper, leaving a peppery sensation on the palate.
This sustainably grown wine is lovingly produced by the Fumey Chatelain family who will soon be converting to organic winegrowing. Since their beginnings in 1986, they have transformed a small vineyard into a prosperous 17-hectare operation. No Sin Tou Tsefs is the embodiment of their expertise and the result of meticulous winemaking and ageing in “foudres” (large wooden tuns) and small oak barrels. This juicy yet delicate red wine displays the uniqueness of Jura wines, while delivering all it takes to delight the most discerning palates.

About the Producer Fumey-Chatelain

The story of this Jura estate started with Raphaël and Adeline, who initially cultivated just half a hectare of vines and sold their grapes to the cooperative. In the spring of 1991, a devastating frost destroyed most of the Jura vineyards. This major turning point marked the start of a new chapter for the couple. Instead of selling their small crop of grapes, they decided to make their own wines with them, using the equipment of winemaker friends to produce their first vintage. The family business flourished and the couple acquired a charming farm in Montigny-lès-Arsures in 1999. Now with a vineyard boasting over 17 hectares of vines, they have been joined by their son, Marin. He has radically changed the estate’s practices and style of wines, converting the vineyard to organic winegrowing and introducing plot-based and natural winemaking techniques. Today, the wines are already of a high standard and this estate is a gem to watch closely!
