    Marnes Blanches Cremant du Jura "Réserve" Brut Nature NV

    Natives of the Jura, but from farming rather than winemaking backgrounds, Géraud and Pauline Fromont began this domaine when they were in their mid twenties, and are ambitious, talented young winemakers. They share all vineyard, cellar, and sales duties, and are rising stars in the region. 

    The Marnes Blanches vineyards are divided between three towns: Cesancey, Vincelles, and Ste-Agnès. The Fromonts acquired their Cesancey vineyards first, and those feature the “white marl” soil that gives the Domaine its name, with topsoil of limestone. The vineyards in Ste-Agnès and Vincelles are primarily red marl, with fossilized limestone. With vines up to 100 years old and interesting local strains such as Melon-Queue-Rouge and Savagnin Muscaté, the Fromonts have excellent material to work with in the cellar. They began farming organically immediately upon beginning the Domaine in 2006 and are now Ecocert certified, with plowing between rows. 

    As with most Jura producers, the Fromonts make a variety of cuvées, ranging from ouillé whites, to sous-voile whites, to crémants white and rosé, single-variety reds, and a delicious vin de paille. They work with all native yeast. Parcels are vinified separately and aged in either stainless steel or neutral cask. These are clean, pure, vibrant wines.

    The crémant is made from 100% Chardonnay. The wine was aged for a minimum of 18 months on the lees before disgorgement. Brut nature in style.
