Arbois Vin Jaune 2018 - Fumey Chatelain
The Vin Jaune from Domaine Fumey-Chatelain represents the pinnacle of Jura winemaking. Crafted exclusively from Savagnin, it has patiently aged in oak barrels for at least 6 years and 3 months under a protective veil of yeast. This nectar, presented in its iconic 62 cl bottle (the clavelin), offers extraordinary complexity. The nose explodes with notes of dried walnut, curry, morel, and ginger. On the palate, the structure is monumental, driven by sharp acidity and a nearly eternal aromatic persistence. A wine for extreme aging, powerful and profound, embodying Marin Fumey's excellence on the Montigny-les-Arsures terroir.

The Gold of Jura: A Legendary Bottle Vin Jaune is unique in the world. At Domaine Fumey-Chatelain, it results from rigorous parcel selection on the estate's finest blue marl soils.
The Miracle of Time:
-
Aging: In accordance with AOC regulations, the wine remains in barrels without any "topping up." Part of the wine evaporates ("the angels' share"), and a veil of yeast forms on the surface, protecting the wine from harsh oxidation and granting it the famous "yellow taste."
-
The Clavelin: It is the only wine permitted to be sold in this specific 62 cl bottle, representing what remains of a liter of wine after its long aging process.
Tasting Notes:
-
Nose: Rare intensity. It features walnut, toasted hazelnut, saffron, blond tobacco, and smoky notes.
-
Palate: Controlled power. The body is rich, but balance is maintained by incredible mineral tension. The finish is an explosion of spices and dried fruits.
Food Pairings: The ultimate pairing: chicken with morels and cream. It also beautifully accompanies aged Comté cheese, curry or ginger-based dishes, or mushroom crust (croûte aux morilles).
