"I didn't remember that the Vin Jaune from the Curon terroir was already produced in 2017 and was very impressed by the 2018 Curon Vin Jaune. It was produced with the grapes from the high-density, 27,000-vines-per hectare plot that Tissot planted on a slope close to the towers. It's a powerful wine, reflecting the very warm conditions of the year, when it reached 16.5% alcohol after the long aging in barrel, during which time the wine develops much complexity and also gets more concentrated, gaining some alcohol. It's complex and full, spicy, smoky and with some iodine and peat-like notes reminiscent of Talisker whiskey, nuanced and layered with some lanolin and rubber notes, with depth and clout. I was truly impressed. Curon is something special, close to the finesse of Château Chalon."

Vines grown organically, Ecocert controlled. The vines are grown without weedkillers, chemical fertilisers or synthetic products. They use sulphur and copper to treat the vines. All the vines are ploughed. Hand-picked, de-stemmed, pneumatically pressed, spontaneous fermentation in vats, matured in 228-litre barrels without topping up for 6 years, 1/3 of the volume evaporated and the wine protected by the yeast veil. Light filtration before bottling. For all our oxidative wines we use a little sulphur (1 to 3 grs/hl) before fermentation. After oxidative ageing, sulphur is not necessary as it is ineffective (combination of SO2 and aldehydes).
