Arbois Savagnin Ouillé Fumey-Chatelain 2022

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!
