A Chardonnay with finesse and purity, with aromas of white fruit, almonds in the shell and subtle mineral notes. The palate is fluid and smooth, with both acidity and roundness, and a great deal of pleasure for the price. Bravo Marin!
Marin Fumey
Marin Fumey, a young purebred Jura winegrower, has always bathed in Vin Jaune! His parents Adeline and Raphaël founded the estate in 1986 with only 56 acres of vines. While it remains a family affair, today Fumey-Chatelain totals sixteen hectares of vines in the process of being converted to organics. More recently, it was the arrival of their son Marin at the estate, in 2015, that gave it a new impetus. He learned with his parents, and went through the Beaune Viticulture-Oenology diploma, then left for Paris and worked at L’Ambassade de Bourgogne, where he trained his palate. It was during his Southern Hemisphere travels that he rediscovered a number of approaches, like the whole-bunches vinification in Australia at Spinifex Wine, or the tidying of the vineyard as if it was garden at Burn Cottage Vineyard in New-Zealand, or at Alheit Vineyards in South Africa where he refined the vinification of the whites. A maturity that is reflected in the juices, and an estate to follow very closely.
Another huge success from the estate, a cuvée with a great deal of finesse and complexity, and notes of Mirabelle plums, pears, acacia flower and almonds... The palate is vibrant, with beautiful citrus fruit acidity, roundness and volume, and lovely bitter notes on the finish.
A nose of dazzling fruit aromas – raspberry, red plum, a hint of flowers... A fluid, smooth palate, with beautiful acidity, and light, crisp tannins – we could almost call the wine thirst quenching! No Sin Tou Tsefs is Jurassian for "We are all Chefs"! In that case, pop open another!
A nose with notes of sour cherries, redcurrant jelly, and flowers... The palate is delicate, elegant, and fruity, with lovely acidity – beware Le Bastard goes down terribly easy!
Oh Savagnin, how we love you! A quintessential expression of the grape variety, with an oxidative nose of fresh nuts, dried fruits and spices. The palate is in harmony with the nose, boasting power, volume and length, citrus fruit acidity, and a touch of salt on the finish.
A nose with notes of sherry, apricot, honey, almonds, and brown sugar... A smooth and balanced palate, with lovely volume and candied fruit finish. A delight at the end of a meal – to be served chilled.
On notes of redcurrant, long pepper... The cuvée that made us decide to bring the estate on board at Pur Jus! It’s ready to drink, fruit forward, yet will evolve very nicely with each passing year. Marin's advice: cellar this a few years! #ploussardforever
A nose with rich walnut aromas which don’t overwhelm the other notes, from beeswax to quince and curry... At once peaty and honeyed, fresh and floral, this is very complex. On the palate, we discover a dry, deep, velvety wine, with great sweetness and exceptional length. Bottle of 62 cl.
Nose: aromas of dried fruit, white flowers, and subtle oxidative notes after aeration. Palate: with lively, fine bubbles, and aromas of hazelnut and brioche, this is a perfectly balanced sparkling wine, with a long, saline finish.
A powerful and complex nose with notes of roasted apricot, orange peel, acacia honey, hazelnut, and quince... Palate: a wine with a great deal of residual sugars, but balanced by just the right amount of acidity. A sublime sweet cuvée, at once rich, elegant and smooth. Bottle of 37,5 cl.
Attention danger ! Complex Chardonnay which very quickly becomes addictive, with notes of quince, citrus fruits, honey, hazelnut, hint of fresh butter. The palate is also very expressive, with a beautiful volume and texture, long and luscious finish.
