Chantal and Jean Berthet-Bondet, both agricultural engineers, settled in Château-Chalon in 1984 and the first grape harvests took place in 1985. Not being born either of the winemaker family, the acquisition of plots and know-how is done gradually. The farm currently has 11 hectares of vines and converted to organic farming in 2010.

The house that houses the Date field of 16 th century and it is assumed that it was the remains of a steward of the abbey of Château-Chalon. This “chatelain” or “prieuré” house is decorated with a coat of arms surmounting the entrance door representing noble families of Franche-Comté to which many abbesses of Château-Chalon belonged. The property was also the location of the shooting of the Spanish film in 1965, Bernard Clavel’s novel adapted by Jean Prat for television.

Among the 15 hectares of vines, the estate cultivates 4.5 hectares of savagnin in AOC Château-Chalon and 10.5 hectares in AOC Côtes du Jura (white grapes: Chardonnay and savagnin – red grape varieties: trousseau, poulsard, pinot noir). The plots are located on the hillsides of Château-Chalon as well as around Lavigny and Le Vernois. The estate produces all the Jura wines in all their diversity: Crémant, Côtes du Jura red, Côtes du Jura white and veiled, Château-Chalon, Straw wine, Macvin and Eau de vie from Marc de Franche Comté.
