Robert Parker

"La Source has notes of waxy apples, and it's slightly balsamic and herbal, very pleasant." (Wine Advocate 2019 - Luis Gutiérrez) The fine 2018 harvest helped create this ephemeral cuvée, rich in flavor and delicate. An ode to pleasure and gourmandise!

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Domaine rated 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)

About the domain :

The estate dominates the whole of Château-Chalon, perched on its rocky outcrop at an altitude of 450 metres. Jean handed over the reins to his daughter Hélène, who took over from him after a first life as a translator in Brussels, and ensures the smooth running of the 15-hectare estate. Certified organic since 2013, the wines are among the vineyard's success stories, especially the sailing wines, the estate's great specialty. The yellow wines (4.5 hectares of Château-Chalon) are matured in magnificent vaulted cellars.

Domaine noté (guide 2024) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)

About the domain :

Domaine created in 1985 by Jean Berthet-Bondet, former mayor of Château-Chalon and, like his wife, an agricultural engineer. Conducted according to the rules of organic farming, the 13 ha of vines and vaulted cellars have been managed since 2018 by their daughter Hélène.

Scored (2019 guide) 88-89/100 (Good wine)

About the wine:

Côtes du Jura 2018 La Source is a new cuvée made from two-thirds chardonnay and one-third savagnin, produced because its yields were very good, which meant a surplus of grapes. They don't yet know if this will be a permanent label in their portfolio. La Source has notes of waxy apples, and is slightly balsamic and herbal, very pleasant.

Domaine rated (guide 2024) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winegrowers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the domain :

Chantal and Jean Berthet-Bondet, both agricultural engineers, left the city in 1985 to create this 11-hectare estate, located equally in the Château-Chalon appellation and Côtes du Jura, and certified organic since 2013. Jean's daughter Hélène is now at the helm. Quality is progressing in the direction of fruit expression and purity. New cuvées and wine labels have been cleverly redefined, even if the cuvées matured under sail remain the undisputed stars of the domaine, with a Château-Chalon that can serve as a model for the prestigious appellation.

Note and review by Mme BRIGITTE A. Published on 06/01/2021

Very disappointed by this wine, which has no Jura character. Not very aromatic, you wonder where the Savagnin is? Nice acidity, but a flat, short wine. Will end up in the kitchen. Yet an estate I usually appreciate.

Drank in 02/20 with a cheese platter (comté abondance beaufort). A successful marriage thanks to its original aromas and a long finish with the white pepper of Savagnin.
