About Courbet Château-Chalon

He replaced Poulsard with Savagnin and wood barrels with concrete eggs. It's a complete revolution with Damien Courbet!
 
Since his return in 2011, nothing has remained the same, neither in the winery nor across the 7 hectares that the Courbet family has preserved for centuries in the Jura, in the east of France. Established in 1869, the family enterprise underwent a radical transformation in its third generation, capturing attention and astonishing with its outcomes. The white Courbet Château-Chalon is one of those reasons that merit a closer look and heightened attention towards this winery.
 
Completely biodynamic and with six years of biological aging, Courbet Château-Chalon is one of those wines that will undoubtedly astonish you. From the A.O.C. Château-Chalon comes this white wine, cultivated in ancient vineyards over 65 years old. Many of these vines were planted and tended by Damien's great-grandfather, and they continue to thrive robustly today. And what a display of vigor! Given these venerable ages, it would be a travesty to squander such exquisite raw material, which is why from the outset Damien also championed a conversion to biodynamics, minimizing the use of chemicals and sulfites. Nothing should obscure the distinctive character of the region's chalky-clay soils with their characteristic grey and blue marls.
 
The same philosophy applies in the winery, where the aim is to add nothing to Courbet Château-Chalon. Following manual harvest, Courbet Château-Chalon is pressed and the must is transferred to fermentation tanks where natural alcoholic fermentation will commence. Indigenous yeasts will be responsible for expressing the unique character of the terroir from which they originate. From these tanks, once the process is complete, Courbet Château-Chalon will be transferred to barrels to age for six years under a protective 'voile' or yeast veil. This is very similar to the wines of the D.O. Jerez-Xérès-Sherry, where a thin layer of yeast and living organisms will insulate and shield the wine from the adverse effects of oxygen.
 
Not all palates are aficionados of wines aged in this manner; nonetheless, we assure you that Courbet Château-Chalon will be a revelation. Take our word for it: it will not leave you indifferent.
