Château-Chalon: Jewel of the Jura and Cradle of Vin Jaune

This picturesque village is famous not only for its medieval architecture and stunning views of the surrounding countryside, but also for its yellow wine, one of France's gastronomic treasures.

A Village Steeped in History
Château-Chalon stands on a plateau overlooking the Seille valley, offering spectacular panoramic views that have charmed visitors through the ages. The village is dominated by the remains of its medieval castle and its Romanesque church, Saint-Pierre, which bears witness to the historical and religious importance of the area. The cobbled streets and traditional stone houses add to Château-Chalon's timeless atmosphere, transporting visitors back to another era.
Yellow Wine: A Unique Nectar
Château-Chalon is renowned for its vin jaune, often described as one of the most exceptional and mysterious wines in the world. Produced exclusively from the Savagnin grape, this wine is aged under a veil of yeast in oak barrels for at least six years and three months, a process that gives it its complex aromas of nuts, dried fruit, and spices. Visiting the local wine cellars offers a rare opportunity to taste this unique nectar and discover the secrets behind its making.
Vignobles en Terrasses
The landscape around Château-Chalon is marked by spectacular terraced vineyards, clinging to the steep slopes of the region. These vineyards are not only beautiful to see; they are also a feat of agriculture, optimising the sun exposure and water retention needed to grow the precious Savagnin grape. A walk through these vineyards offers breathtaking views and rewarding encounters with the winemakers, whose passion for their craft and their land is felt in every bottle of wine.
Activities and Discoveries
In addition to wine tasting, Château-Chalon is the ideal starting point for many activities. Hiking enthusiasts can explore the trails that wind through the surrounding vineyards and forests. The village also hosts cultural events throughout the year, including wine festivals and craft markets that celebrate the region's rich cultural heritage.
