2015 Domaine Courbet Chateau-Chalon 620ml Bottle

One of the best Vin Jaunes on the market that we know of, ridiculous quality at this price point. Produced from 25-65 year old vines planted in 1945, 1967 and 1986 from two plots. Sous Roche is located beneath the cliff of Château Chalon and the other is En Lyas in Menétru le Vignoble. Marnes grises et bleues make up the soil types.

The Savagnin grapes are hand-harvested and after pressing, the resulting must is fermented in barrel. It is then aged in barrel (topped off) until the following summer with some lees stirring, and is then assembled and transferred into neutral barrels located in a separate above ground cellar for 6 more years of aging. It was kept sous voile until it was lightly filtered and bottled 7 years after harvest.
