Obtained by blending 1/3 Savagnin and 2/3 Chardonnay before fermentation (and not by blending two varietal wines), followed by three years of aging in large, always well-filled barrels, this dry wine is best served at room temperature as an aperitif, with asparagus in mousseline sauce, crayfish, river fish (trout with almonds, stuffed carp), white meats (veal blanquette), endives with ham, exotic cuisine, poultry in cream sauce, fondue, and mountain cheeses (Jura, Savoie, Pyrenees, Switzerland).
Aromas of hazelnut, raisin, tea, and honeysuckle. Always serve at room temperature, never too chilled.
Our Tradition white wines will keep for at least 15 years. They then accentuate their character due to the presence of Savagnin and a slow oxidation process that is perfectly integrated into the wine.

The Château d’Arlay is a historic wine estate located in Arlay, in the Jura region, in the heart of the Côtes du Jura wine region. This 17th-century château is one of the oldest wine estates still in operation in France. It is currently run by the d’Arenberg family, a Belgian noble lineage, who acquired the estate in the 19th century.

The château was built in 1774 on the foundations of a former monastery. It is surrounded by an 8-hectare park, laid out in the late 18th century by the Countess of Lauraguais. The château’s architecture reflects the classical style of the period, with symmetrical facades and richly decorated interiors.

The Château d’Arlay vineyard covers approximately 20 hectares and is cultivated using traditional methods. The main grape varieties are Savagnin, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Poulsard. The estate is renowned for its white wines, notably Vin Jaune, a unique wine aged under veil, as well as for its light and fruity red wines.
