Grown on white marl soils and made in the ouillé style with no sulfites added, this Les Follasses Chardonnay expresses the precision of Montigny-les-Arsures terroir. Michel farms two parcels—Les Follasses A and B—sometimes blending them, sometimes bottling separately. The result is a fresh, lively white with subtle oxidative qualities that define the Jura's best traditions. Hand-harvested and aged in neutral oak, this cuvée balances bright acidity with the mineral depth characteristic of the appellation.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What Rosenthal Wine Merchant has to say about this wine:

From 45-year-old Chardonnay planted in marne blanche (white marl), “Les Follasses” is topped up in cask, but nonetheless delivers an unhinged expression of saline minerality. The marl here—a layer of decomposed limestone mixed with clay—pre-dates the limestone that dominates Burgundy’s Côte d’Or, and it is this marl (in varying iterations of color and mineral composition) that dominates the terroir of the Jura.
