Berthet-Bondet - Côtes du Jura Vin de Paille 2009

Robert Parker
"The 2009 Vin de Paille offers classic aromas of golden raisins, dates, and dried apricots, with hints of ginger and pollen. There are also subtle notes of yeast. The palate is sweet and tart; it is not overly sweet and has a lovely acidity that brings freshness. If you want a rich, sweet wine, drink it young; if you prefer something mellow and less sweet, let it age in the bottle.” (Wine Advocate 2015 - Robert Parker).

Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2015 guide) 15/20 (Very good wine)
Rated 2 stars (A solid, recommendable production, though slightly more conventional and uniform than the previous one)
About the wine:
Chardonnay, Poulsard, and Savagnin form a winning trio, with pencil lead and candied orange dominating the nose. On the palate, ripe citrus notes and crisp acidity combine to create a wine that is incredibly smooth and never overwhelming.
About the estate:
The estate overlooks the entire town of Château-Chalon, perched on a rocky outcrop at an elevation 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 standards, the 13 hectares of vineyards and vaulted cellars have been managed by their daughter Hélène since 2018.

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 tasting 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 vintages and labels for fortified wines have been cleverly reimagined, though the wines aged under a veil remain the estate’s undisputed stars, with a Château-Chalon that serves as a model for the prestigious appellation.
