Chardonnay

Fumey-Chatelain
Nestled in the heart of the Jura, this family estate works its hillside plots on classic marl and limestone soils, the kind of ground that gives white wines real backbone. The 2023 vintage shows you everything you want from the region: ripe orchard fruit, a touch of hazelnut, and a fresh, mineral finish that keeps you coming back for another sip. Gently pressed and matured with care, it's made in a clean, expressive style rather than the oxidative one, so it stays bright and easy to love. Pour it with roast chicken, creamy cheeses or simply on its own.
