About the wine

The winery was established as early as the High Middle Ages by the Counts of Chalon-Arlay, princes of Orangehistoire.htm, at the foot of their mighty fortress. It later became the Royal Vineyard of England, Spain and then France. Today, the castle and winery are owned by Comte Alain de Laguiche. The vineyards stretch over 30 ha on rolling hills on the banks of the Bresse and not far from the foothills of the Jura. The vines grow on fossil-rich limestone soil and rich marl. Due to their south-facing slope, the vines are sufficiently illuminated by the sun and protected by the hill from the north winds.
