Robert Parker
"Vin de Paille 2009 presents classic aromas of golden raisins, dates and dried apricots with some ginger and pollen notes. There are also hints of yeast. The palate is bittersweet; it's not an overly sweet wine and has a nice acidity that brings freshness. If you want an opulent sweet wine, enjoy it young; if you prefer something mellow and less sweet, let it age in the bottle." (Wine Advocate 2015 - Robert Parker).

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2015 guide) 15/20 (Very good wine)
Domaine rated 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the wine:
Chardonnay, Poulsard and Savagnin form an effective trio, with pencil lead and candied orange dominating the nose. On the palate, the ripe citrus fruit and sharp acidity are very comfortable, without saturation.
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.
Guide Hachette des vins
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.

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
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.
