Founded in 1869, this family-run estate, like most during that time, was originally structured on a poly-culture model; vines, grain and livestock. It gradually evolved to producing only grapes and wine over the last 50 years and is now run by Jean-Marie (father) and Damien (son) Courbet. The estate now comprises 7.5 hectares of vineyards. Half are located on the slopes directly below the famous village of Château-Chalon which is arguably the greatest appellation of the region. Their Côtes du Jura Poulsard is a classic Jura treat. Very light, garnet color with delicate floral and cherry notes in the nose. While light bodied in the mouth, with air the wine fills out and shows a gorgeous airy texture with delicate berries, earth notes and some leather.
