The Authentic, Mineral Expression of Marnes Blanches

The Estate

Founded in 2008 by oenologist Géraud Fromont, Marnes Blanches takes its name from the distinctive soils of its first plots. The adventure took on a new dimension in 2011 with the arrival of Pauline Rahon, also an oenologist. Today, the couple runs this estate, which is renowned for its rigorous organic approach and its philosophy of natural winemaking with minimal intervention. The estate has gradually expanded, offering a wonderful diversity of terroirs, and has established itself as a benchmark for lovers of authentic wines.

The Vineyard

Classified as Vin de France, the vineyard extends across a variety of terroirs acquired over the years. The vines thrive in singular soils, initially composed of white marls dating from the Lias, and later enriched by plots of red, clay-limestone soils teeming with fossilised oyster shells. The entire vineyard is farmed according to the strict principles of organic agriculture, ensuring respect for the environment and the pure expression of the terroir.

Vinification and Ageing

The making of the Coup de Jus "Shark Riesling" 2024 is based on a minimal-intervention philosophy. After careful harvesting, the process continues with natural fermentation. The wine then benefits from extended ageing in neutral vessels, a method that preserves all the authenticity and freshness of the fruit.

Grape Variety

This white wine is made exclusively from the Riesling grape variety.
