Domaine des Marnes Blanches : Coup de Jus - Monkey 2025

Characteristics and Tasting Tips for Coup de Jus - Monkey 2025 from Marnes Blanches

Tasting

Colour

The colour is clear and brilliant, with shades ranging from light straw yellow to pale gold.

Nose

The nose opens with citrus fruits, accompanied by orchard fruits such as pear and apple. Notes of white flowers and fresh herbs follow, with mineral touches of warm stone and chalk. A perceptible salinity completes the bouquet.

Palate

The attack is energetic, carried by a vibrant, well-integrated acidity. The texture is built on a mineral framework evoking stone, chalk and salt. The refreshing finish leaves a saline hint.

Food and Wine Pairing

This white wine pairs naturally with seafood: oysters, shellfish, scallops, as well as delicate white-fleshed fish such as turbot or cod. It also suits raw preparations (sashimi, ceviche, tartares) and light plant-based cuisine, enlivened with citrus or fresh herbs. It can accompany a fresh goat's cheese or mildly spiced Asian cuisine. Finally, it is well suited to serving as an aperitif.

Serving and Cellaring

Coup de Jus - Monkey 2025 is designed to be enjoyed in its youth, for its immediate freshness.

A White Vin de France, Taut and Saline

The Estate

Marnes Blanches is set on white marl in Cesancey. Run by oenologists Pauline and Géraud Fromont, it is farmed organically and vinified at the Sainte-Agnès winery, using indigenous yeasts. The Coup de Jus négoce range extends this approach with grapes sourced from other terroirs.

The Vineyard

This white Vin de France owes its distinctiveness to its vineyard, which delivers pronounced acidity and a saline imprint.

Grape Varieties

Pinot Blanc, Auxerrois
