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.
Planted in 2002, this Pinot Noir comes from a single parcel of limestone and clay soils in Arbois. Fermented with 100% whole clusters and aged for 12 months in 228L barrels, the 2022 vintage showcases remarkable ripeness, resulting in a buoyant and vivid wine. Bursting with blue and red fruit, underpinned by mineral depth and warm spice, this Pinot Noir offers incredible potential for aging—but it’s already delightful today.
