This Wine: Natural white wine with a medium body and fresh acidity. Zesty lemon and mineral elements come together to create something approachable in youth but still full of Jura character. 

Notes on the Winemaker: Les Marnes Blanches is the project of Pauline & Géraud Fromont who make natural wine in their home region of the Jura. They farm 12 hectares of vines across the Sud-Revermont using organic techniques and have a low intervention approach in the cellar.
