The couple Pauline and Geraud Fromont met while studying winemaking in Dijon and created Domaine des Marnes Blanches after returning to the Jura region, in 2006. Their families owned tiny plots used to make wine for personal consumption only and their childhood was the inspiration for them to start their own project.
The Marnes Blanches vineyards are divided between three towns: Cesancey, Vincelles, and Ste-Agnès. Their Cesancey vineyards are on 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.
Wild yeast fermentation is standard, wines are fermented in stainless steel and then aged in barrels.
