Tasting Notes
The vast majority of white wine from the Marnes Blanches estate is made in the 'ouille' fashion, meaning 'topped-up'. The Empreinte Chardonnay, with it's traditional Jura bottle shape, is a little different as it's made 'sous voile' over a duration of 36 months. This treatment develops a wine into a richer, more concentrated, intense, oxidative and nutty style. It's mature Chardonnay vines also add to the complexity, planted on the estates distinctive limestone and fossil-rich soils and you can see this transcend through the wine. Such a pure expression of place and variety. - Chris L
Pauline and Geraud Fromont began Domaine des Marnes Blanches in 2006. Their certified organic vineyards are located in the Jura's Sud Revermont region, which is also home to a lot of the Jura's natural wine producers (including Ganevat). The estate is 10 hectares planted on white marl soils, as the domaine's name suggests. They produce 2 main styles of wine; topped up (ouille) and oxidative (sous voile) for which they have 2 different cellars to mature the wines in their ideal conditions. They are young and energetic producers which is reflected in their living wines. A producer fit for every wine lovers table and one to watch into the future. - Chris L
