Domaine de la Loue Le Blanc is a natural white wine made from Chardonnay grown in Arbois. A fresh white with hints of citrus and orchard fruits, wildflowers, and intense minerality. Grapes are grown naturally without chemicals. Harvesting is by hand and fermentation takes place in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts. The fermenting wine is racked into old barrels to complete fermentation, and then racked again into stainless steel and rested for a month. Bottling takes place without filtration and no addition of sulfur dioxide.

About Domaine de la Loue
Catherine Hannoun is based in Port Lesney, a small commune about 15 minutes north of Arbois which exudes the tranquility many associate with the hills of Jura. Having worked for many years in film, including on Mondovino (a film bringing some of the shadier practices of the global wine economy to light), Catherine settled in Jura in 2008. It was clear after working alongside Emmanuel Houillon that this was the area for her, and in 2009 bought a small parcel of vines and her current cellar. She now has 3.2ha of vineyards of Chardonnay, Savagnin, Trousseau, and Pinot Noir around Marnoz and Arbois and produces wines that honestly portray the grape and terroir in every sip.
