Description

A view of the small village of Chateau-Chalon, in the Jura region of France known for it's wine production. From Wikipedia: "Chateau-Chalon is an Appellation d'Origine Controlee for wines made in the Jura wine region of France, around the village of Chateau-Chalon. Only white wines from the Savagnin grape made in the vin jaune ("yellow wine") style can be made using this appellation. However, the Chateau-Chalon wines are not explicitly labeled as vin jaune. It is bottled in the traditional bottle called clavelin that is of a peculiar shape and with a capacity of 62 cl, which is, according to local legend, the amount left of a litre of wine after aging in cask for six years and three months - the legal minimum for Chateau Chalon. Once bottled, the wine is of great longevity, and can age for several decades." Definitely needs a zoom...
