Arbois Les Fouilles Marnes Blanches (Domaine des) 2023
The wine
The Arbois appellation is the cradle of Jura's wine diversity and embodies a tradition of distinctive and authentic wines. The vineyard is located in Sainte-Agnès on blue and grey marl soil from the Triassic and Lias periods. Les Fouilles is the product of the meticulous blending of Pinot Noir, Trousseau and Poulsard grapes. The vines are between 20 and 45 years old and are planted on the same parcel. The grapes are harvested by hand and then fermented with indigenous yeasts. Maceration is gentle and takes place in whole bunches. The wine is aged in barrels and demi-muids for around ten months, without fining or filtration.
The wine has a bright ruby colour. The nose is expressive, marked by aromas of morello cherry, peony and a subtle earthy touch. The palate is juicy, taut and fresh, with a lovely acidic structure, fine tannins and a mouthwatering finish.
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!
