Description
Located in the heart of the Jura vineyards in France, on a hill of grey marl and fossilised limestone, the Château d'Arlay vineyard dominates the history of wine: reputed to be the oldest wine château in France and a former Royal Vineyard of Spain, England and France.
Family owned, never bought or sold since the Middle Ages, the Château d'Arlay vineyard is a historical exception.
Alain, Anne and Pierre-Armand de Laguiche perpetuate here today a unique know-how: that of producing lively, dynamic, seductive wines and spirits with a marked personality.
Wines and spirits in an authentic Jura spirit, respectful every day of the Earth, of Men and Women, of Fauna and Flora.
Accompanied by a talented and experienced team, they work as closely as possible to the land to produce the best wines.
Obtained by blending 1/3 Savagnin and 2/3 Chardonnay before fermentation, followed by three years' maturation in large, well-filled tuns.
Tasting
This dry wine is best served as an aperitif, with asparagus in a mousseline sauce, crayfish, river fish, white meat, endives with ham, exotic cuisine, poultry in cream, fondue, mountain cheeses.
Aromas of hazelnut, raisin, tea, honeysuckle. Always serve tempered, never too cold.
They will keep for at least 15 years. They will then accentuate their typicality due to the presence of Savagnin and a slow oxidation perfectly integrated into the wine.
