Based in Montigny les Arsures, widely known as the home of Trousseau, the Gahier family has been in the Jura since 1525.
Sometimes known as the protegรฉe of famed Jura producer Jacques Puffeney, it is clear after just a few exchanges that Michel Gahier was a singular winemaker in his own right. Throughout his 35+ vintages, Gahier's philosophy remains the same: nothing added, and nothing taken away. He harvests and vinifies all wines parcel by parcel. Each wine ultimately is derived exclusively from a single vineyard site. The white wines are layered and complex while his reds are fresh, mineral driven, and energetic.
What importer Rosenthal Wine Merchant has to say about this wine...
From 45-year-old Chardonnay planted in marne blanche (white marl), โLes Follassesโ is topped up in cask, but nonetheless delivers an unhinged expression of saline minerality. The marl hereโa layer of decomposed limestone mixed with clayโpre-dates the limestone that dominates Burgundyโs Cรดte dโOr, and it is this marl (in varying iterations of color and mineral composition) that dominates the terroir of the Jura.
