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.

Antonio Galloni

90 points

"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

More about Rijckaert

Jean Rijckaert spent a decade as technical director for the negociant Verget before launching his own project in 1998 with 4 hectares around Viré in the Mâcon, then acquiring 5 hectares of prime Savagnin, Chardonnay, and Poulsard in Arbois. Florent Rouve officially took over in 2013, but the winery still follows Jean's minimalist blueprint: native yeasts, minimal lees stirring, 18+ months aging before bottling. Pure, mineral, serious whites from Burgundy and the Jura.
