Chardonnay “En Quatre Vis” 2022 – Domaine des Marnes Blanches

A vibrant, mineral Jura Chardonnay with clarity, freshness, and balance

Terroir

En Quatre Vis is sourced from Chardonnay vines rooted in the classic grey and blue marl soils of the Jura. These marl-limestone formations provide natural tension, precision, and a distinctly mineral backbone. The semi-continental climate, marked by cool nights and significant temperature variation, preserves acidity and freshness. Farmed organically, the vineyards allow the 2022 vintage to express purity, balance, and immediate drinkability.

Tasting Notes

Appearance & Nose:
Pale yellow with light golden hues. The nose is clean and expressive, revealing fresh citrus, yellow apple, and subtle chalky and flinty notes.

Palate & Finish:
The palate is lively and well-defined, driven by crisp acidity and a smooth, linear texture. Flavors of lemon zest and fresh almond lead into a saline, mineral finish that is precise and refreshing. A topped-up style Chardonnay with no dominant oak, emphasizing clarity, energy, and terroir expression.
