Joined full-time by husband Steve in 2016, Céline initially rented a small 0.5ha parcel in Passenans while working for other producers in the Jura, including the Domaine Labet, Badoz, and St-Pierre.
It's also good to note that Julien Labet was a big influence on Céline’s winemaking – it is therefore no surprise that the labels of both domaines are the work of a mutual friend and local artist.
Céline and Steve decided to introduce the 'pied de cuve' technique and the use of bigger vessels (600ltr demi-muids and diamond-shaped concrete vats) for a fast and efficient fermentation process – from 2020 no sulphur is used during vinification and ageing, and the wines have gained in clarity and depth.
The reds are destalked by hand, given three weeks maceration and a short élevage in cuve, no sulphur has ever been deemed necessary.
Sourced from 50-year-old vines in the "Combe des Grandvaux" in Passenans, an area characterized by brown and red marl soils. Aged in neutral vessels and ex-Meursault oak barrels to add texture.
Nose & Palate: Offers a complex profile of pure orchard fruits (peach), citrus, and spicy undertones. It is noted for its "razor-sharp" acidity and a distinctively chalky, almost chewy finish.
