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!

Located south of Lons-Le-Saunier, in the Jura, the Jacquère vines are cultivated following organic methods, focusing on small yields and constant care for each vine. The estate sources grapes from a variety of regions from partner winegrowers and friends to produce this superb white wine. The fruit purchased complies with the estate’s philosophy. All the grapes are hand-picked and produced using organic methods. The fruit is vinified with minimal intervention and matured for ten months in concrete eggs.
The slightly brilliant colour reveals a rich, expressive bouquet of citrus and white fruit, with subtle hints of quince. The palate affirms the aromas of the nose, while displaying a perfect balance of delicacy and freshness. This cuvée will display the full extent of its finest aromas in its youth.
