Alsace, France. Pinot Blanc and Auxerrois from. Organic. Pétillant Naturel. 

Whole-cluster pressed into stainless steel tanks, the wine fermented until it hit 21 g/l of residual sugar. The wine was chilled and then transferred to the bottle to finish fermenting. 

Domaine des Marnes Blanches is one of the Jura’s rising stars. Founded in 2006 by Géraud and Pauline Fromont—natives of the region but from farming (not winemaking) families—the duo has quickly gained a loyal following for their soulful, low-intervention wines. They handle everything themselves, from vineyard to cellar to sales, and their attention to detail shows in every bottle.

The estate’s vineyards span Cesancey, Vincelles, and Ste-Agnès, with soils rich in white and red marl, fossilized limestone, and some vines up to 100 years old. They've been farming organically since day one and are now fully Ecocert certified, using native yeasts, minimal sulfur, and experimenting with zero-sulfur bottlings.
