Tasting Notes
Possibly the most natural wine style in the world. It sits in barrel for more than 6 years under a veil of flor (yeast) which not only protects the wine from the nasty yeast, but also produces what we know as oxidative characteristics (aldehydes) which lend that distinctive nutty and salty flavour to the wine. This is a wine to be respected and admired. Only produced in exceptional years, these wines will age a lifetime and should be drunk with the local Jura cheese, Comte. - 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
