Domaine des Marnes Blanches

Domaine des Marnes Blanches' greatest asset isn't necessarily the chalky limestone and fossil-rich soils on which they grow their grapes — rather, it's the passionate and talented winemakers/owners, husband-and-wife team Pauline and Géraud Fromont.

Description

Domaine des Marnes Blanches Zeus Gonewild VdF 2021

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Grenache from Jura, France.

Taste Profile: Light in color, but has a powerful notse & palatte. Grippy sensation with a blend of cherries, strawberries, menthol, licorice, and minerality. It's a balanced refreshing wine, perfect for casual drinking

Winemaking Process: Light extraction

Bright & Easy Reds

Easy drinking red wines with bright fruit aromas and low tannins. The wines are often released without much aging in tank, oak barrels or bottle, and are meant to be drunk early

These wines typically can be nejoyed without food, and are usually served cooler. They can be light bodied wines like Beaujolais, or light extraction styles that do not emphasize tannin & color extraction

Carbonic Maceration

Carbonic maceration is a form of whole bunch fermentation, when whole bunches of uncrushed grapes ferment from the inside out. It traditionally requires an environment full of CO2, some winemakers allow a percentage of crushed grapes to ferment & release the CO2.
While a natural process, it has been adopted as a stylistic choice to make wines fruiter & soften their tannins
