If the Jura is on your radar at all, Pauline and Géraud Fromont's Marnes Blanches belongs near the top of the list — a couple who founded their domaine in 2006 fresh out of winemaking school, farming organically with minimal intervention in the cellar. Les Molates is their ouillé (topped-up, non-oxidative) Chardonnay, drawn from parcels around Gevingey on the region's namesake white marl and limestone, aged about ten months in barrel. This is the clean, mineral, Burgundian-leaning side of the Jura — no nuttiness, just bright fruit and stony precision. 2023 was a ripe, generous vintage. It's a fantastic introduction to one of the region's most exciting young estates, and food-friendly to its core.

More about Domaine des Marnes Blanches

When Pauline and Géraud Fromont founded their Domaine des Marnes Blanches deep in the south of the Jura, the region (Sud Revermont) wasn't on anyone's radar. It was 2006, the husband and wife were fresh out of wine school, and they were happy to be able to come home to the Jura and build something together. Since then, so much has changed. The Jura blew up. Ganevat (from the same region) became a star and then a superstar, Labet and Miroir (likewise neighbors) became culty and then cultier. The Natural Wines of Overnoy Puffeney became legendary and spearheaded the whole movement.

But all of that happened for a simple reason: the Jura is a land of incredible terroir with ancient winemaking traditions and people populated by people who want to preserve them. And one of the greatest things about getting the Marnes Blanches wines in, is that they're a crystal clear reminder of why these wines are all the rage. The domaine is named after the white soils that made up the first vineyard they farmed -- that's how terroir focused they are. You can smell it in the wine and taste it, especially on the mineral, salty finish. But the wines -- especially this Chardonnay -- are also defined by full of the beautiful, crunchy, high-altitude fruit of perfect farming (organic) and careful, minimally interventionist winemaking.
