Marnes Blanches (Geraud Fromont) 2011 Cotes du Jura Poulsard
This is our first experience with the wines of Geraud Fromont of Domaines des Marnes Blanches, an estate south of the Arbois by about 15 kilometers. We like what we have tasted so far. This wine is quintessentially Poulsard with zippy, sour cherry fruit on the nose. Pale and pure in the glass, the blood oranges and slightly bitter herbs come through on the nose and palate after an hour open. The wine is quite high-toned and high in acidity with a hint of quinine emerging with air. -msb
