Vin de France Coup de jus Shark Marnes Blanches (Domaine des) 2024
11.5%
0.75L
Intensity
A pure, vibrant sulfite-free Jura white from white marl soils showing genuine citrus flavours lifted by a fine mineral backbone.
More infoDespite being one of France’s smallest wine regions, the Jura possesses an incredibly strong viticultural identity shaped by centuries of isolation and deeply rooted traditions. Here, the natural wine philosophy took hold early, driven by dedicated growers such as Géraud and Pauline Fromont of Domaine des Marnes Blanches. Although this cuvée is classified as Vin de France, it originates in the heart of the Jura’s Revermont, near Cesancey, produced from vines cultivated with the utmost respect for the living. The vines are rooted in white marl from the Lias and Triassic periods, typical of the southern Jura. The grapes are hand-picked at perfect ripeness. Fermentation begins spontaneously with native yeasts, followed by ageing on fine lees, without stirring or unnecessary racking.
The wine shows a bright, pale yellow hue. The nose is expressive and precise, revealing aromas of lime, Granny Smith apple, fresh verbena, oyster shell and damp chalk. The palate opens with a vivid attack and unfolds into a finely etched and mouth-watering saline, leading into a long, citrus-tinged finish.

About the Producer Domaine des Marnes Blanches
Situated in Sainte-Agnès in the Jura, the Domaine des Marnes Blanches (a name inspired by the estate's white limestone soil) is owned by Pauline and Géraud Frémont, a couple of young oenologists. In 2008, they took over 10 hectares located in Sud-Revermont of Savignin and Chardonnay for the white wines and Trousseau, Pinot Noir and Poulsard for the reds. They have also acquired some very old vines. Their entire estate has organic certification and their methods include laying the rows in between the vines to grass and tilling the soil. In the chai, vinifications are carried out with as little intervention as possible as per the owners’ belief that ‘the wine should make itself’. The pressing of the grapes is gentle and vinifications are done plot by plot with sulphur only added ‘homeopathically’. This is an excellent domain whose wines express their terroir in all its complexity and diversity. To follow closely!
