Henri Maire Château Chalon Vin Jaune

Henri Maire Château Chalon Vin Jaune

Henri Maire Château-Chalon Vin Jaune is a remarkable and iconic wine from the renowned Henri Maire winery, located in the beautiful Jura region of France. This wine belongs to the elite category of Vin Jaune ("Yellow Wine"), a unique and characteristic style typical of the region.

The Château-Chalon AOC is a small appellation in the Jura, famous for its production of Vin Jaune. This wine is made exclusively from the Savagnin grape, a native variety that thrives in the region's calcareous soils.

Vin Jaune is known for its unique production process, in which the wine is aged for a minimum of six years and three months in oak barrels under a layer of yeast known as "voile". This process ensures a slow oxidation of the wine, resulting in a complex and concentrated wine with unique flavors and aromas.

In the glass, the Henri Maire Château-Chalon Vin Jaune presents itself with a deep golden color and a bright sparkle. The bouquet is intense and expressive, with aromas of dried fruit, nuts, spices and floral notes. There are also hints of fresh brioche and a subtle salty touch that are characteristic of wines aged under voile.

On the tongue, this Vin Jaune offers a rich and concentrated taste experience, with complex flavors of nuts, candied fruit and a remarkable umami touch. The wine has a full and silky texture, with a lively acidity that balances the complexity. The persistent aftertaste is a tribute to the long maturation and aging of the wine.

Henri Maire Château-Chalon Vin Jaune is a rare and precious wine best appreciated on special occasions.
