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.
Old-vine Ploussard planted in marl, this is hand-destemmed and fermented gently with very little extraction. Aged in wood and stainless steel for ten months to preserve the jubilant red fruit that this variety is known for. Plenty raspberry and crushed strawberry, refreshing with a subtle smokiness, and lovely breadth and texture on the palate.
