This is the estate’s largest production by volume and the oldest known. This Pinot Noir varietal wine has been produced here since the 15th century. Our estate is considered one of the best red wine terroirs in the Jura. This wine owes its reputation to its fresh style, with a spicy and curiously mineral character.
Aged in large used barrels to soften its fine, tight tannins, our red wine is served at room temperature to accompany grilled fish, red and white meat, or roasted poultry, al dente fresh pasta, steamed green vegetables, fresh cheese (goat), and Bleu des Causses.
Aromas of wild red fruits, blackcurrant, morello cherry, undergrowth, green pepper, graphite, and exotic wood. It can be aged for 10 years and is best enjoyed after 5 years in the bottle.

The Château d’Arlay is a historic wine estate located in Arlay, in the Jura region, in the heart of the Côtes du Jura wine region. This 17th-century château is one of the oldest wine estates still in operation in France. It is currently run by the d’Arenberg family, a Belgian noble lineage, who acquired the estate in the 19th century.

The château was built in 1774 on the foundations of a former monastery. It is surrounded by an 8-hectare park, laid out in the late 18th century by the Countess of Lauraguais. The château’s architecture reflects the classical style of the period, with symmetrical facades and richly decorated interiors.

The Château d’Arlay vineyard covers approximately 20 hectares and is cultivated using traditional methods. The main grape varieties are Savagnin, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Poulsard. The estate is renowned for its white wines, notably Vin Jaune, a unique wine aged under veil, as well as for its light and fruity red wines.
