DOMAINE FUMEY-CHATELAIN

What a long way it has come since its difficult installation in 1991, the year of the great frost... From 56 ares, it now covers 15 hectares in the commune as well as in Arbois. Adeline and Raphaël have held firm. Their hillsides are of grey and blue marl, suitable for reds and whites. Here, all the work involved in the cultivation of the vines, the vinification, the bottling and even the marketing are managed between family and friends. The whites oscillate between minerality and spices, like this Chardonnay Zouave 2016 aged for a year and a half in pieces. Same stay for a 2017 trousseau called Le Bastard, with its melted tannins and silky texture. As for us, we were seduced by a Poulsard 2018. Its vermilion colour makes you want to bite into it, especially as its aromas evoke red fruits ranging from strawberries to raspberries. On site and by appointment, you can buy live and participate in wine and grape juice tastings too! Groups are accepted up to 50 people.
