Côtes du Jura 2023

Located in the heart of the Jura vineyards in France, on a hill of grey marl and fossilised limestone, the Château d'Arlay vineyard dominates the history of wine: reputed to be the oldest wine château in France and a former Royal Vineyard of Spain, England and France.

Family owned, never bought or sold since the Middle Ages, the Château d'Arlay vineyard is a historical exception.

Alain, Anne and Pierre-Armand de Laguiche perpetuate here today a unique know-how: that of producing lively, dynamic, seductive wines and spirits with a marked personality.
Wines and spirits in an authentic Jura spirit, respectful every day of the Earth, of Men and Women, of Fauna and Flora.

Accompanied by a talented and experienced team, they work as closely as possible to the land to produce the best wines.

Obtained by blending 1/3 Savagnin and 2/3 Chardonnay before fermentation, followed by three years' maturation in large, well-filled tuns.
 

Appearance: Bright pale yellow hue, clear and reflective of the Jura terroir’s purity. 

Nose: Fine, complex bouquet combining yellow fruit aromas (apple, pear) with subtle nutty and toasty notes, characteristic of the region’s traditional styles. 

Palate: Full and elegant on the palate, with a beautiful balance of freshness and texture. Flavours of ripe fruit, hazelnut and gentle spice unfold in a long, expressive finish. 

Food & wine pairing: Delightful as an aperitif, pairs superbly with freshwater fish or crayfish, asparagus with mousseline sauce, creamy poultry dishes, Jura-style fondue and mountain cheeses.
