Belgian winemaker Jean Rijckaert—former co-founder of Maison Verget in Mâcon—established his own domaine in 1998 with 5 hectares in Arbois and 4 in the Mâconnais. En Paradis is old-vine Chardonnay facing the bell tower of Arbois church, grown on gravelly limestone and grey marl. Florent Rouve took over winemaking in 2013, bringing a focus on freshness and tension rather than oxidative funk. Spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeast, aged 10 months in 3-4 year old oak. Organic certified. Jura Chardonnay with mineral tension.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 90
"Offering a notch more substance than the traditional Chardonnay from the same vintage, the 2022 Arbois En Paradis opens with cedar, lemon flesh, wet stones and toasty notes. Medium-bodied and neatly concentrated, the 2022 is a powerful and modern expression of Jura Chardonnay. A sapid finish wraps things up." -Nicolas Greinacher

"Crisp pear and floral aromas indicate this wine's fruitiness. With its taut acidity, green apple and slightly yeasty character, the wine shows plenty of potential. Drink from 2025." -Roger Voss
