If the stones of Nevy are appreciated, its wines are no less so. The Courbet estate was only 4 years old when its illustrious namesake, the painter, died in 1877. The estate was devoted to mixed farming. Jean-Marie gave it its full measure. He passed the baton to his son Damien, just long enough for him to learn the ropes. Damien is now at the head of 7.5 hectares of the most envied vineyards in Château-Chalon: "Sous-roche", "Puits Saint-Pierre", "Sur Lyo", "Les Isles"... A perfectionist, the winegrower has now turned his vineyard into a biodynamic one.

François Rousset-Martin took over his great-grandfather's estate 15 years ago, after graduating in oenology. His 10 hectares, 70% of which are planted with Savagnin, extend over Château-Chalon, and include some of the most highly-rated vineyards: Sous Roche, Puits Saint-Pierre, Clos Bacchus, etc. Having delivered his harvest to the Voiteur cooperative for several seasons, the strong personality of this winegrower could only lead him to work alone. An advocate of organic farming, the professional also takes his inspiration from the lunar calendar, respecting the parcels of land. He has also abandoned filtration and sulphiting.

Eleven generations of Tissot have succeeded each other in this family. Outstanding distillers who pamper the vines at Château-Chalon and maintain a wine trade. The dynasty began when Claude settled in the village in 1600. Pascal, the current boss, continues the adventure with the same rigour under vaults engraved in 1560! With the Tissot comes at first sight the religiously convoluted "Marc du Jura". No need to travel the world to find international specialities. The burnery produces "Prohibition" labelled Jura whiskies (aged in barrels of macvin, straw wine, yellow wine, or even trousseau...). There is also Jurask'aya vodka, Jura gin d'gin, rum in straw wine casks. As for fruit brandies, they also play on originality: wild sloe, quince... Let us not miss another institution of the house, the ancestral family liqueur Juramelli yellow or green like its Carthusian neighbour.
