Origin: Jura, France
Grapes: Chardonnay
Farming: Biodynamic
This electric Chardonnay from the Les Dolomies domaine comes from 75-year-old vines on the ancient red marl soils of the Jura.
Winemaker Celine Gormally does a fantastic job of expressing the minerally, steely terroir that the region is famous for, employing a gentle, hands-off approach in both the vineyard and the cellar. The wine undergoes a spontaneous fermentation in old inert oak vessels, with extended lees contact without batonnage.
Unfiltered and unfined, with a small dose of sulphur added prior to bottling.
Céline Gormally, who created her domain in 2008, lives by the saying from Saint Exupery “The earth is not ours; but lent to us by our children.” This rings true in all facets of how she manages her land. A woman with a spring in her step, she manages around 5ha of vines with the help of her husband Steve. Today they are fully certified as organic, and employ biodynamic practices across all of their four hectares of vineyards in the villages of Passenans and Frontenay.
