Côtes du Jura Vieilles Vignes Marnes Blanches (Domaine des) 2015

The wine

Due to their advanced age, the vines selected to make this cuvée give it unrivalled complexity. Alongside the intensely floral and fruity notes, we find breath-taking minerality. This minerality is also seen on the palate, unfurling both aromatic persistence and good aging potential.

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!
