Domaine Fumey Chatelain - Savagnin Ouillé 2020
Domaine Fumey Chatelain is located in Montigny-lès-Arsures, in the Jura . It was created by Raphaël Fumey and Adeline Chatelain in 1986. At the time, they began with 56 ares of vines to produce and sell grapes. In Spring 1991, due to a terrible episode of frost, they had so few grapes left that they decided to vinify it themselves and then signed their first vintage. They develop the operation by borrowing cellars and unused barrels from other winegrowers before settling in a ruined farmhouse. Today, the estate owns 17 hectares of vines and their son, Marin , after having vinified several times in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, joins them. The estate is currently in sustainable cultivation but intends to begin a conversion to organic farming in the coming years.
Savagnin ouille 2020 comes from vines grown at different localities on marly soils. Fermentation and aging are carried out in 228 and 500 liter barrels for 18 months .
Grape variety: 100% Savagnin
