Long description

Raphaël Fumey and Adeline Chatelainbegan their winemaking career in 1986 with little more than 56 ares of rented vines .

In the end, it was a painful episode that prompted them to vinify their own harvest. When the 1991 frost left them with only a tiny fraction of their production, they decided that they might as well try their hand at winemaking. They then developed a taste for the exercise. At first, they set up a makeshift winery in their garage.

Over time, the business was streamlined, with the acquisition of a farm in 1999 to house a winery, while the vineyard area gradually increased to reach 15 hectares.

The Fumey-Chatelain wine estate, which remains on a human scale, produces wines that are as healthy as possible, with extensive tillage. The wines are fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged for 18 months.

Today, Domaine Fumey-Chatelain wines are extremely elegant for the whites and fresh for the reds. In recent years, Marin has joined his parents, bringing a breath of fresh air to the wine estate. This gradual transition under the aegis of the young winemaker is reflected in a shift towards naturalness, both in the vineyard and in the cellar, with a drastic reduction in SO2 during winemaking and some very successful cuvées without inputs. We were won over.
