Anecdotes about the domain
The Château d'Arlay is classified as a Historic Monument, Remarkable Garden and Vineyard and Discovery. It is one of the 40 members of the prestigious Académie du Vin de France. I know that for many urbanites, the profession of winegrower fascinates them. Let's skip the anguish and the hardship common to all agriculture, to rejoice with them in the fruit of this work: the wine.
The domain's short story
The grey marl of the Lias subsoil and a southern exposure, unusual in the region, contribute to the elegance and minerality of our estate. Our vines, most of them planted in 1953 and 1974, as well as our work in reasoned, organic and biodynamic viticulture, privileging indigenous yeasts, perfectly express the nobility of this château and this terroir, reputed to be the oldest wine château in France. A must-see tourist, cultural and oenological stopover located in the heart of the Jura, the Château d'Arlay has the particularity of having always been transmitted by inheritance since its foundation in the Middle Ages until today, and of being considered as the oldest wine château in France. This land was in turn owned by the Counts of Burgundy and the Chalon-Arlay - the most powerful family in Comte - followed by the Princes of Orange, Counts of Nassau, Princes of Isenghien and Arenberg, Marquis of Vogüé, and Counts of Laguiche. The wines of the domain are now exported on the 5 continents and benefit from an international reputation, such as its Vin Jaune classified among the 100 best wines of the world.

Le nez est très expressif, quelques notes poivrées / épicées, mais des fruits très présentes ! Quelques arômes que l'on retrouve dans les vins de bordeaux avec une belle complexité.
En bouche, une belle surprise ! Un vin travaillé avec une très belle longueur ! Des fruits rouges gourmands et confiturés.
Au nez, on retrouve des arômes de fruits confits et d'épices notamment de cannelle.
En bouche, ce vin présente une belle longueur. Nous retrouvons les arômes de fruits confits.
Le Château d'Arlay accompagnerait parfaitement un rôtie de porc.
