Information
Situated in Sainte-Agnès in the Jura, the Domaine des Marnes Blanches is owned by Pauline and Géraud Frémont, a couple of young oenologists. In 2006 they took over 10 hectares of Savignin, Chardonnay, Trousseau, Pinot Noir and Poulsard and have recently acquired some very old vines. Their domain 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.
This pure Savagnin Côtes-du-Jura is produced from 60-year-old vines cultivated on clay and limestone soils. It has been barrel fermented and matured for 10 months in barrels previously used for at least 10 vintages. In the glass, it is gold in colour and offers up rose and white flower notes. The full and aromatic palate is driven by its delightful acidity which also gives it excellent length.
