Does the Château-Chalon selection offer the chance to discover several grape varieties?
No: all seven wines are Jura whites made from Savagnin. The choice is therefore between producers, cuvées and vintages, rather than between several grape varieties.
Which Château-Chalon wines bear the name “En Beaumont”?
Frédéric Lambert offers the “En Beaumont” cuvée in three vintages: 2015, 2017 and 2018. It lets you discover several vintages of the same cuvée without changing producers.
Which wines should you bring together to discover two Château-Chalon wines from the 2016 vintage?
Ganevat A & JF and Domaine Macle are both represented with Château-Chalon wines from 2016. Tasting them side by side lets you compare two producers with the same vintage, grape variety and appellation.
How are the Château-Chalon vintages distributed across the producers?
Tissot is represented by the 2011 vintage, while Domaine Macle offers 2015 and 2016, and Ganevat A & JF offers 2016. At Frédéric Lambert, the “En Beaumont” cuvée spans 2015, 2017 and 2018: 2015 and 2016 are therefore the only vintages represented by two producers.
Can bottle size help distinguish between the Château-Chalon wines in this selection?
No: all the wines are presented in 62 cl clavelins. This shared format lets you focus your choice on the producer and vintage, with no difference in volume between the wines.
