Natives of the Jura, both Pauline and Géraud’s families owned tiny plots (used to make wine for home consumption) and spending time in the vines in their childhood was enough to give them the wine bug. The couple met while studying winemaking in Dijon and created Domaine des Marnes Blanches when they returned to the Jura in 2006. They farmed organically from the word go and have added parcels (some they planted) along the way to reach a total of 12ha today, spread across four villages in the Sud-Revermont. Cesancey, their first acquisition, is home to the white marl after which the domaine is named, while Gevingey, Vincelles and Ste-Agnès have more varied soil types, the majority being red marl and gryphées (limestone rich in fossils).
One of Marnes Blanches’ top wines, Les Normins is made from 65yo vines on iron-rich, fossilised red limestone in the village of Vincelles. The limestone gives an extra peps, energy and class to the wine, that was aged in 5yo 500ltr barrels for two years. It has a briny, iodine quality, and a buttery fruit that puts one in mind of serious wine from the Côte de Beaune.
