Established by Adeline and Raphaël in 1986, Fumey-Chatelain has since transitioned to a dynamic family venture, encompassing 17 hectares and transitioning to biodynamic practices. In the cellar, Marin takes a hands-off approach: wines are vinified using native yeasts and undergo no fining or filtration whatsoever. The results are staggeringly beautiful imprints of terroir which have earned this domaine a loyal following. But it seems Raphaël has no plans to rest on his laurels.

A blend of different parcels, elevations and soil compositions across Arbois and Montigny-lès-Arsures. The whole bunches are gently pressed and naturally fermented in foudre, where the wine is then aged for 18 months. Russet apples, earthy lemon lend to fresh almond notes and pistachio cream. Beautiful depth and freshness to match.
