Côtes du Jura Melon à queue rouge (anciennement En Marche) Philippe Chatillon 2020

The wine

This 100% Savagnin is grown in soils of blue marl. The vines are grown biodynamically, without pesticides or chemical products. Instead, compost and manure are used. During vinification, no sulphur is added and there is no chaptalisation. Maturation takes place in oak barrels, which gives a certain unctuosity to the wines. Philippe Chatillon is also committed to bio-harmony, this being a way of harmonising the vines with sound waves – so don’t be surprised to find him with a harp and some singing bowls. We recommend decanting this wine before tasting it. A very expressive wine with nutty notes that will pair perfectly with spicy dishes or recipes involving mushrooms.

About the Producer Philippe Chatillon

After working as estate manager at the La Pinte à Arbois domaine for 18 years, Philippe Chatillon was keen to become an artisan wine producer. In 2013, therefore, he created his own domaine planted with Savagnin vines on a hill with a good exposition in Passenans, in the Côtes du Jura appellation. He supplemented them with other grape varieties such as Melon Queue Rouge, Gamay, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay. Philippe Chatillon chose to follow his passion and adopt organic and biodynamic methods. He also stands out from his peers with his commitment to bio-harmony. He believes that sound waves help to balance wines in the cellar. In order to achieve this harmony, he uses a crystal harp and singing bowls to create a unique energy.
