Domaine Eric Thill - Chardonnay De Marne et d'Argile 2023
Jura | white, dry |
Juicy Chardonnay with pronounced minerality and notes of citrus and white flowers.
This Chardonnay comes from vineyards with clay-limestone soils, imparting characteristic minerality to the wine. The nose is dominated by citrus fruits, white flowers, and subtle buttery notes. On the palate, it is fresh, with balanced acidity and a long finish.
Eric Thill has had wine in his blood since childhood. Coming from a winemaking family, he grew up at the foot of Schlossberg. In 2007, he and his wife moved from Haut-Rhin to the Jura and started from scratch, building a winery of their own – except for one 2.76-hectare plot they purchased. The estate has been certified organic (Ecocert) since 2015 and is moving toward biodynamics. Today, they farm 5.8 hectares planted with Chardonnay, Savagnin, Poulsard, and Pinot Noir, using gentle vineyard practices like selective weeding and canopy management.
