In addition to having been the president of the \u003cstrong\u003eChâteau-Chalon\u003c\/strong\u003e appellation for four years, Stéphane fought body and soul for the world to discover all the richness of the terroirs of this appellation. We often associate Château-Chalon with the famous \u003cstrong\u003eyellow wine\u003c\/strong\u003e, but in reality, this area has always produced wines made from \u003cstrong\u003eSavagnin\u003c\/strong\u003e with finesse, far removed from the opulence of the yellow wines from other corners of the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mireehaute.com\/en\/collections\/jura\" title=\"Jura\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJura\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, such as \u003cstrong\u003eArbois\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003ePupillin\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"\" data-end=\"1218\" data-start=\"1177\"\u003eUdumbara, a Jura UFO of immense depth\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-end=\"1482\" data-start=\"1220\"\u003eIn 2016, Stéphane recovered a family micro-plot in Château-Chalon (\u003cstrong\u003eLa Vigne Aux Dames\u003c\/strong\u003e) and cultivated it. His credo? Let nature express itself. No sulfur, no copper, no trimming or tillage. The vine therefore produces little, even very little. His job in the cellar is just as simple: spontaneous fermentations, native yeasts and Stéphane lets his wine work alone, without getting too involved. Its \u003cstrong\u003eSavagnin\u003c\/strong\u003e, which responds to the name of \u003cstrong\u003eUdumbara\u003c\/strong\u003e, is taking pride of place in the cellars of lovers of natural Jura. After\u003cstrong\u003e 4 years\u003c\/strong\u003e of aging, Stéphane bottles a wine of immense complexity and phenomenal aging potential. Tasted several times blind, it is a wine that has amazed more than one wine enthusiast!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"\" data-end=\"2062\" data-start=\"2020\"\u003eA new adventure between Jura and Anjou\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-end=\"2282\" data-start=\"2064\"\u003eSince 2023, Stéphane has lived between \u003cstrong\u003eChâteau-Chalon\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eThouars\u003c\/strong\u003e in Anjou.
