This yellow wine from the Château-Chalon vineyards is a unique product in the world because of its grape variety, the Savagnin, its method of vinification, its longevity and its complexity.

At the end of this time the wine will have lost its initial volume and a litre of Savagnin will give an average of 62 cl of Vin Jaune. This loss is called "la part des anges" and explains the capacity (62cl) of the bottle called Clavelin.

Tasting
Frank and subtle, the nose declines spices (cinnamon, nutmeg), anise and fennel, undergrowth and mushrooms. A nice journey before discovering a structured matter, in which the walnut returns discreetly but elegantly.
Food pairings
Château Chalon is a very long-keeping wine, which can age for a century! It goes well with cheese from the Jura, but also with fish and poultry.
