About this Wine
Clos du Château is the star wine of Château de l’Étoile, drawn from the walled monopole at the top of Mount Muzard, just behind the château. It is serious from the first moment, with oyster shell, lemon, green apple and flint giving way to peach, stone fruit and saline depth. Bright, mineral and deeply satisfying, it has enough density to feel generous, but enough freshness to keep everything moving.

Tasting Notes
The star wine of Château de l’Étoile: oyster shell, citrus, stone fruit and deep mineral tension.
At the top of Mount Muzard, just behind the château, there was once a castle built in the 1100s and destroyed in the 1500s. Local history says vines have always grown here.
Today, the Clos du Château sits surrounded by pine trees, cooled by shade, stone and altitude. A tiny walled clos, protected from the outside world, producing what Louis calls the wine that “keeps the DNA of the terroir, no matter the decade.”
And you can feel that seriousness immediately.
Oyster shell, lemon flesh, green apple and flint come first, then a richer wave of peach and stone fruit underneath. There is a brilliant saline line running through the wine, giving it drive, grip and that quiet, deeply satisfying sense of completeness.
It feels generous, but never heavy.
Serious, mineral, bright and complete. The kind of wine that makes you understand the whole château in one glass.

The Plot
Clos du Château is a walled monopole at the top of Mount Muzard, just behind Château de l’Étoile. Surrounded by pine trees and cooled by shade, altitude and stone, it is one of the estate’s most protected and distinctive sites. Local history says vines have grown here since the time of the old castle, making this a vineyard with both real presence and deep memory.
Technical Details
This is 100% Savagnin from the Clos du Château monopole, one of the château’s most important sites. The vineyard’s cool, protected position helps preserve freshness, while the old vines and walled setting give the wine its depth, density and mineral structure. The result is the most complete wine in the range: bright, saline, serious and deeply expressive.

Discover Their Story
Château de l’Étoile is Louis Fourrier’s first chapter in the Jura: a historic estate in one of the region’s smallest and most distinctive appellations, where old vines sit among marl, limestone, woodland and cool mountain-edged air.
The wines are delicate, mineral and quietly electric, shaped by careful farming, minimal intervention and a deep respect for place. There is a Burgundian calm to the way Louis works, but these are not Burgundy-shaped wines. They are Jura through and through: bright, tense, expressive and complete.

Verified Trustpilot ReviewFAQs
Clear details, so you can buy with confidence
Is this wine ready to drink now?
Yes. This is ready to drink now, but a little patience could make it even more rewarding. Open one soon, then tuck another away if you want to watch it develop.
Should I buy one bottle or a few?
One to try, three if you want to follow it over time, six if you already know the producer or style. Burgundy moves quickly, and small parcels rarely hang around for long.
What if I’m not sure this is my style?
Use our live chat, or pop us an email. We specialise in Burgundy and are always happy to help. Our tasting notes are based on wines tasted by our founders and updated regularly, so you can buy with proper confidence.
How quickly will it arrive?
Fast. We ship every wine on a next-working-day service and dispatch Monday to Friday. At checkout, you can even choose a delivery day that suits you.
How is it packed?
Each bottle is wrapped in tissue before being carefully placed into our specially imported Italian boxes, tested to rigorous standards. We have literally dropped them from the first storey of our house. All our packaging is paper-based and recyclable.
Can I send it as a gift?
Absolutely. As standard, our wines arrive wrapped in bespoke tissue paper. At checkout, you can also add gift bags, gift boxes and notes.
