MORGANE TURLIER
Pangea 2022
Jura, France
From the hottest, dryest year in recent memory, this is a blend of Trousseau, Poulsard and Pinot Noir. Each of the varieties was destemmed by hand and the wine macerated on the skins for a month before a year of ageing in cuve. Reflecting the vintage, this is a deep, dark and wild red that offers heady notes of brambly fruit, earth and funk. Not for the faint of heart, this will benefit from further cellaring in the years to come.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER
Morgane Turlier is one of the most promising young winemakers in the Jura today.
Having worked for many years alongside her friend Etienne Thiebaud of Domaine des Cavarodes, Morgane now works alone, tending around two hectares of old vines, planted with all the Jurassic varieties and spread across small parcels in La Chapelle-sur-Furieuse, Buffard, Chamoz, Marnoz and Cramans.
Much like her mentor, Morgane has a sensitive approach to farming and feels most at home in the vines. Her parcels are worked by horse and treated with nothing more than a little copper, sulphur and herbal teas.
Her humble cave forms part of a cooperative farming project she runs with friends in La Chapelle, and Morgane works simply, aiming merely to guide the grapes along their way. She adds nothing and takes nothing away, producing pure, lively wines that carry a beautiful sense of place. It is fair to say that the future looks very bright for this talented young vigneronne.
