Ratings: Gault Millau 17.5/20 (Coup de Coeur), Bettane & Desseauve 17/20, RVF 15/20
“A wine with a complex and rich nose featuring aromas of walnut, hazelnut, curry, grapefruit, baked apple, saffron, and subtle smoky notes. On the palate, it offers finesse and remarkable length, with beautiful minerality, richness, a lovely aromatic presence, and a most delightful acidity.” (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2012 - Gault & Millau)

Food and wine pairings
This wine is the perfect accompaniment to American-style lobster, cream-based poultry dishes, morel mushrooms, haddock, curry dishes, and especially Comté cheese. Some even recommend it with dark chocolate...
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 2 stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
The estate overlooks the entire town of Château-Chalon, perched on a rocky outcrop at an altitude of 450 meters. Jean has passed the torch to his daughter Hélène, who returned to take over the business after a career as a translator in Brussels, and now oversees the smooth operation of the 15-hectare vineyard. Certified organic since 2013, the wines are among the vineyard’s greatest successes, particularly the voile wines, the estate’s signature specialty. The yellow wines (4.5 hectares in Château-Chalon) are aged in magnificent vaulted cellars.

About the estate:
The estate was founded in 1985 by Jean Berthet-Bondet, a former mayor of Château-Chalon and an agricultural engineer, as is his wife. Cultivated according to organic farming practices, the 13 hectares of vineyards and vaulted cellars have been managed by their daughter Hélène since 2018.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated estate (2024 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
Chantal and Jean Berthet-Bondet, both agricultural engineers, left the city in 1985 to establish this 11-hectare estate, located equally within the Château-Chalon and Côtes du Jura appellations, and certified organic since 2013. Hélène, Jean’s daughter, is now at the helm. The quality is evolving toward greater expression and purity of the fruit. New cuvées and labels for fortified wines have been thoughtfully redefined, though the cuvées aged under a veil remain the estate’s undisputed stars, with a Château-Chalon that serves as a model for the prestigious appellation.
