Domaine Fumey-Chatelain began its life in the mid-1980s, when Raphaël and Adeline Fumey began farming half a hectare of vines outside of Arbois in the heart of the Jura. In the years following, they grew slowly and steadily. They first vinified their own wines in 1991 and built their cellar and cuverie in Montigny-lès-Arsures in 1999. Today the estate covers 17 hectares, across more than 20 different parcels, overseen by their son Marin, who rejoined them in Montigny in 2020 after making wine across the southern hemisphere for several years. Today the vines are farmed entirely without chemicals, working toward organic certification. These are meticulously made wines, full of soul and uniquely Jurassian. Sauvagny is a beautiful amphitheater-shaped vineyard located near Montigny-lès-Arsures. This blend originates from both the north- and south-facing slopes of the "Sauvagny" vineyard.
This single-vineyard Chardonnay comes from vines planted between 2011 and 1962 in clay and marl soils and fermented and aged in a combination of oak casks of varying sizes as well as concrete eggs. A Chardonnay of rare depth and intensity, with a great vein salinity running through the center.
