Arbois Savagnin Sous Voile 2020 - Fumey Chatelain
The Savagnin Sous Voile from Domaine Fumey-Chatelain is a deep dive into Jura tradition. Unlike the topped-up version, this wine is aged for several years in barrels without being refilled, allowing a "veil" of yeast to develop. This unique process grants it fascinating aromatic complexity: notes of fresh walnut, oriental spices (curry, saffron), and yellow apple. On the palate, it offers a powerful structure, sharp acidity, and infinite length. Marin Fumey perfectly balances the strength of the oxidative style with delicate fruit nuances. A characterful, intense, and profound wine, essential for any lover of sensory exploration.

The Soul of Jura: Aging Under the Veil This cuvée is the very expression of Arbois' traditional expertise. It requires patience and monitoring so the "flor" miracle can happen without ever compromising the juice's finesse.
Terroir and Aging:
-
Terroir: Blue Lias marls, the preferred Savagnin terroir in Montigny-les-Arsures.
-
Aging: The wine rests in 228L barrels for several years. Natural evaporation ("the angels' share") is not compensated, allowing air contact and the development of the yeast veil.
-
Style: A controlled oxidative wine that gains structure and "yellowing" aromas while maintaining a vibrant mineral core.
Tasting Notes:
-
Nose: Powerful and typical, featuring walnut, bitter almond, bruised apple, and spices (fenugreek, curry).
-
Palate: Direct and energetic attack. The mid-palate is broad, dry, and deep. The finish is marked by a persistent salinity that demands fine food.
Food Pairings: The legendary partner for chicken with morels and cream. It also elevates spicy exotic cuisine, mushroom crust, or a 36-month aged Comté cheese.
