The vines are approximately were planted in 1983, cultivated in blue marl and limestone soils. Grapes are destemmed, undergo a 3-week maceration, and are aged nearly a year on their lees in Meursault barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2022 vintage presents a bright cherry hue with an intense nose of blackberry and wild bramble. The palate is silky and elegant, featuring fine, fresh powdery tannins and a finish that remains slightly reserved. This wine showcases the classic Jura style: bright, crunchy, and rustic, with evolving herbal and earthy notes over time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eLes Dolomies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003eCéline Gormally, who created her domain in 2008, lives by the saying from Saint Exupery “The earth is not ours; but lent to us by our children.”  This rings true in all facets of how she manages her land. A woman with a spring in her step, she manages around 5ha of vines with the help of her husband Steve. The fields, as she calls them, are maintained without herbicides or pesticides. Using biodynamic principles and compost as fertilizer she eschews mechanised methods and distributes it all with donkeys between the vines. As former vice president and current member of ‘Le Nez Dans Le Vert’, she is committed to the organic lifestyle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003eLes Dolomies takes its name from the magnesium limestone found in the area. The iridescent marls and limestone outcrops can be found extensively throughout the vineyards. They are one of the best geological soils for Jura grape varieties with their ability to disintegrate, allowing good penetration of the root network and make for an excellent water tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003eCeline is a fighter and has a real belief in the beauty of wines from this region.  She was assisted by Earth Links (an organization helping organic farmers) to initially acquire the vineyards. After several years of work in the vineyard with the purest respect for nature, she gradually began to sell their wine and is now sought after by many countries around the world including top restaurants like Noma in Copenhagen. She believes in the strength of each of their plots, bottling separately which is not the norm in the Jura. This perseverance has allowed Céline to lease and develop new parcels of 55a Savagnin in Château-Chalon, and two other vineyards in Nervy and Passenans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003eAll wines use wild fermentation with very little sulphur, if any. Some whole bunch pressing for the whites and fully de-stemmed treatment for the reds.  Whites sit on their fine lees in old Meursault barrels from Burgundy with a scattering of demi-muid, usually for the more delicate wines. Production is around only 10,000 bottles a year!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSnapshot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003eRegion: Poligny, Jura\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eCountry: France\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eVintage: 2022\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eAlcohol: 13.5%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eSize: 750ml\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eClosure: Cork\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none white-space-prewrap\"\u003e Pinot Noir\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none white-space-prewrap\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExplore our \u003ca title=\"Buy Jura Wines Online | Delivery Australia-Wide\" href=\"https:\/\/actofwine.com.au\/collections\/jura\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJura collection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExplore our \u003ca title=\"Buy Natural Wine Online | Delivery Australia-Wide\" href=\"https:\/\/actofwine.com.au\/collections\/natural-wine\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNatural Wine collection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Les Dolomies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48674835169529,"sku":null,"price":88.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2650\/0856\/files\/New_Image_format_shadow_3928ed24-4138-4e61-b946-0624c62dc9ff.png?v=1784263314","url":"https:\/\/actofwine.com.au\/products\/2022-les-dolomies-la-cabane-pinot-noir","provider":"Act of Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
