Arbois Trousseau Vieilles Vignes Fumey-Chatelain 2022

The wine

Founded in the 1980s by Raphael Fumey and Adeline Chatelain – who were recently joined by their son – the Fumey-Chatelain estate is home to 17 hectares of vines in Montigny and Arbois.
This Trousseau comes from old vines, which gives it appreciable density and noble tannins. The nose boasts aromas of wild berries and spices while the palate has pronounced Morello cherry notes, providing a deliciously fresh and silky experience, with superb acidity and a subtle minty finish.
This wine is made exclusively from Trousseau, a traditional Jura variety, grown on clay and limestone soils and has undergone maceration and fermentation for a fortnight, followed by ageing for a year and a half. The result is a fresh, silky and easy-drinking wine, with a red berry focus.
This wine enjoys an ageing potential of three to seven years, and reflects its terroir marvellously well.
