From Wines of France: Selected the 'First Royal Vineyard of France' in the year 630, Château d'Arlay has remained in the Laguiche family since the 12th century. Before that time it was owned, at different times, by the Kings of France, Spain and England. These are among a few key reasons why the Château is registered a National Monument. It isn't only the history buffs coming by every year to visit, however. The Laguiche family knows a thing or two about winemaking...(see also: Montrachet). Count Alain de Laguiche has been at the helm of Château d'Arlay since the early 1980s after taking over for his father, Count Renaud de Laguiche. Today, Alain produces a tremendous lineup of Jurassic wines from their nearly 50 acres of vineyards located just outside the château's walls.

100% Trousseau grape (only 7% of the Jura vineyards), this fruity and spicy wine draws its character from the warm and light terroir of the terrace of Treize Vent, facing south under the ruins of the medieval castle.

Must have proof of age at time of pick up, 21 years or older
