Picked from vines between 10 and 50 years old, fruit was given a short whole bunch maceration with fermentation and ageing in neutral oak casks. The aromatics are lifted, with red currants, cranberry and a leafy, botanical complexity. It has so much freshness and energy to taste, finishing with gentle but stern tannins.

Tucked up between Burgundy and the Alps, Jura is one of those regions that the wine world gets very excited about, and Domaine des Marnes Blanches are at the peak of that excitement. Géraud and Pauline Fromont leapt into the consciousness of wine lovers when they started Domaine des Marnes Blanches in 2006. They have 4 vineyards totalling 12 hectares on limestone/clay and red marl soils where they grow Chardonnay, Savagnin, Poulsard, Pinot Noir and Trousseau using organic practices. As well as traditional oxidative wine styles, they have keenly followed a Burgundian approach of the separate vinification and bottling of specific sites to make ‘topped up’ wines.
