One day Napoleon said to the Prince of Metternich: "You really serve the best wine in the world here [Johannisberg]!”. Reacting to this comment, the prince stated that "the best wine in the world doesn't come from here on the Johannisberg [Johannes mountain], but rather from a small town in your kingdom named Château Chalon.”
What makes the vin jaune from the Château Chalon region so special?
The vin jaune ('yellow wine' in French, describing a particular type of white wine made in the Jura region of eastern France) from the Château Chalon's particular region is much finer, more elegant, and more complex than other vin jaune from neighboring regions. This wine is the only wine designated as appelation controlée (a certification for wine produced according to state-wide regulations) in France that cannot be produced yearly. This is partly because a commission of wine producers and representatives of the French national institute for wine production and quality observance travels through France to observe every piece of land used for wine production with the label appelation controlée. This committee endows or retracts this esteemed label according to specific criteria. This somewhat extensive process led to the reality that, in the 20th century, every fifth year of vin jaune production by Château Chalon did not come into existence. On top of all this, vin jaune from Château Chalon needs to be evaluated by an official tasting after it has undergone its 7 year-long aging process in oak casks, before it can be bottled and sold.
Firstly, the wine should be opened three to four hours before it is to be consumed, in order to let its diver range of flavors awaken. French connoisseurs recommend decanting the wine as well. It's also important to know that vin jaune should be consumed warmer than a typical white wine. It is best served at between 15° and 17° Celsius and therefore just a bit under room temperature.
With which dishes should I serve Vin Jaune?
Trout, poultry, smoked fish (like haddock for example) with an accompanying cream sauce, are all wonderfully complimented by Château Chalon. This rare wine is also uniquely suited to complimented Asian or Oriental dishes that contain curry spices. Jean Bourdy recommends consuming Château Chalon with foie gras, scallops, and lobster.
We also recommend, however, that you enjoy this special wine on its own – accompanied by some Comté cheese and a few walnuts – in order to let the unique aromas affect you. If you don't have Comté cheese available to you, good substitutes are Gruyère, an old Gouda cheese, or another old, Dutch hard cheese.
