More infoDomaine Fumey-Chatelain’s Macvin du Jura is made from a blend of Chardonnay and Savagnin musts, fortified with old Marc du Jura brandy. The Savagnin and Chardonnay grapes come from marl soils and are aged ‘sous voile’ in Burgundy oak for five years. With over 30 years’ experience in making wine from the finest Jura grape varieties, Raphaël Fumey and Adeline Chatelain have produced a stunning version of this traditional Jura wine, which showcases everything that has made this estate’s success and renown.
So what can you expect upon tasting? This nectar offers aromas of quince, apricot, candied fruit and a herbaceous freshness. On the palate, this Macvin is classically elegant and well-balanced, with a muscular, lively structure.
This versatile wine is excellent as an after-dinner drink, and also makes a good aperitif or accompaniment for charcuterie and other chilled appetisers. Open it alongside a Comté cheese, for example.
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!
