Les Marnes Blanches, Les Molates, 2022
Why We Like It
Les Marnes Blanches are a quintessential modern Jura producer. Founded by couple Géraud and Pauilne Fremont when they were just 25, almost straight out of wine school, they have built up ten hectares of vines in the Jura and are making clean, textural wines from each of these carefully chosen plots.
The wines are made in the Burgundian ouillé (topped up) style, a hallmark of the newer approach to winemaking in the Jura, although they do make some more traditional bottlings, vin-jaune, macvin, crémant... the list goes on. They even started a brewery to see them through sparse vintages!
What To Expect
The Chardonnay from Les Molates is assembled from a west facing plot in Gevingy of 35 year old vines and is a balanced, citrus lead wine that will give you the first hint of what Les Marnes Blanche is all about.
