Domaine de la Borde – Arbois Pupillin “La Marcette” 2022
Domaine de la Borde, led by Julien Mareschal, works biodynamically since 2012 on 5 ha in Pupillin–Arbois.
“La Marcette” 2022 is 100% Chardonnay from Triassic red marl at 300 m altitude, hand-harvested, partially destemmed (30%), and cold-settled (10°C, 12–24 h) . It ages 12 months on fine lees in large oak tuns (foudre) and stoneware jars, gaining texture, tension, and mineral precision.
The wine displays brilliant golden straw color. Aromas of ripe melon, gooseberry, and tea are enriched by herbal and spicy undertones. On the palate, it is fresh, saline, animated by a glyceric mid-palate for roundness, leading to a lingering, savory, slightly spiced finish—clearly reflecting its red marl terroir.
Ready to enjoy now, it can age gracefully for 8–12 years . Ideal paired with shellfish, creamy seafood risotto, fish in butter sauce, or delicate appetizers.
