Jura Chateau de Chalon Vin Jaune de longue Garde 2004
Le Jura Château de Chalon Vin Jaune de longue Garde 2004 is a white Jura wine in the Arbois appellation, produced by Château de Chalon. It is made from 100% Savagnin. The term Vin Jaune refers to traditional ageing under a veil of yeast: after fermentation, the wine rests for a minimum of six years and three months in oak barrels without topping up (ouillage). This maturation shapes the characteristic style of Vin Jaune, with a complex expression of walnuts, spices, and dried fruits.

Chateau de Chalon
« Château-Chalon » refers to a protected designation of origin (AOP) from the Jura region and not a single identifiable producer. It is reserved for Vin Jaune made from Savagnin, aged for more than six years under a veil of yeast, and commercialized in a 62 cl clavelin bottle. The mention « Henri Maire Château-Chalon » corresponds to a wine from this appellation produced by Maison Henri Maire, a distinct producer.
Histoire du domaine
Research does not identify an estate or wine house officially bearing the sole name « Château de Chalon ». Château-Chalon is a designation of origin recognized by decree on May 31, 1936, whose geographical area covers the communes of Château-Chalon, Domblans, Menétru-le-Vignoble, and Nevy-sur-Seille. Several independent producers craft wines there, meaning no single owner, cellar master, vineyard, or production volume can be attributed to this generic entry. The example « Henri Maire Château-Chalon » refers to Maison Henri Maire, originating from a winemaking lineage documented since 1632: Henri Maire took over the family estate in 1939 and founded his commercial company in 1945. However, these elements do not make it possible to automatically attribute all wines registered under « Château de Chalon » to Domaines Henri Maire.
