En Levrette 2022 – Côtes du Jura – Domaine des Marnes Blanches

A topped-up Jura Chardonnay: mineral purity, tension, and energy

Terroir

En Levrette is a cuvée made from Chardonnay vines grown on the Jura’s emblematic grey and blue marl soils. These marl-limestone soils give the wine its natural tension, precision, and a distinctly mineral expression. The semi-continental climate, combined with organic viticulture, encourages slow ripening and preserves the freshness of the 2022 vintage.

Tasting Notes

Appearance & Nose:
Pale yellow with golden highlights. The nose is precise and expressive, showing citrus fruit, green apple, and flinty notes, with a touch of youthful reduction typical of great Jura whites.

Palate & Finish:
The palate is straight and finely cut, driven by a lively acidity and a sleek texture. Lemon and chalky flavors lead into a long, saline finish. A topped-up wine with no overt oak influence, focusing on the pure expression of terroir and graceful aging potential.
