Chateau-Chalon 1990 - Auguste Pirou

Yellow wine - Chateau Chalon 1990 - Domaine Auguste Pirou

It is the rarest and most controlled wine in the world, the most precise and the most mysterious at the same time, the only one defined by its color. Coming exclusively from the late-harvested Savagnin grape variety, its production is limited to 20 hectoliters per hectare. It acquires its extraordinary "yellow taste" only through long maturation in oak barrels, without topping up, for at least 6 years, and can then exceed 5 generations of winemakers. The "clavelin" bottle is strictly reserved for it. Many regional recipes call upon it, such as the famous Coq au Vin Jaune, the glory of Franche-Comté gastronomy.

As you can see in the pictures, the labels are not perfect, we filmed them to prevent them from falling. The levels are very good and the traces on the internal walls of the bottles testify to a long aging motionless lying down.
