Wine description for Château-Chalon "En Beaumont" Vin de Voile 2016 620ml from Domaine Grand

Colour & appearance

Bright, pale amber - the characteristic colour of an authentic Vin Jaune, which already heralds the extraordinary complexity of this wine.

Nose

A fascinating panorama of flavours unfolds: green walnuts and Almonds dominate, underpinned by mineral notes such as Peat and Ash. Citrus notes of Bitter oranges and Grapefruit peel bring freshness, while Iodine and a hint of yellow curry emphasise the maritime complexity.

Palate

Paradoxical brilliance: creamy and lush, yet dry and powerful. The Extract sweetness perfectly balanced with lively acidity. Walnuts and Roasted hazelnuts meet exotic spicy notes of Saffron and candied ginger. Salty minerality and Iodine merge with Lemon peel and fresh Apples. A wine of electrifying tension and impressive depth.

General information

This 2016 Château-Chalon from Domaine Grand represents the essence of Jura viticulture. 100% Savagnin from the single vineyard "En Beaumont", traditionally vinified under the Pile layer matured in oak barrels. With 15% alcohol and perfect dryness, it is at the beginning of a decades-long development. Organic cultivation began in 2015 - a sign of the winery's forward-looking philosophy.

Food pairing suggestions

Classic Jurassic pairings: Bresse chicken à la crème au vin jaune emphasises the creamy texture, while ripe Comté enhances the nutty flavours. Surprisingly harmonious with Grisons nut cake - The sweetness of the dessert contrasts elegantly with the salty minerality of the wine.

Special features

An authentic Vin Jaune in its purest form. The oxidative maturation under the natural lees gives this wine its unique personality. Already accessible despite its youth, it will mature and gain in complexity over decades. A masterpiece of Jura winemaking that perfectly embodies centuries of tradition.
