In the south of the Jura, in the little-known village of Passenas, Steve and Celine Gormally run a young estate of just 6 hectares. Under the tutelage of Julien Labet, Celine has focused on wines produced in the ouillé style, as opposed to the sous voile method for which the Jura is often known. Les Dolomies takes its name from the magnesium limestone found in the area. The climate is semi-continental and the vineyard area is located at the foot of the first plateau where the vines are rooted in iridescent marls. The term "iridescent" given to this predominantly marly soil reflects the variety of colors due to the levels of oxidation of the iron, which is micro-scattered in the formation. They range from purple/red to light green or white. In these iridescent marls we find beds of dolomite (magnesian limestone). These iridescent marls constitute one of the best geological supports for Jura vines due to their ability to disintegrate, thus allowing good penetration of the root network. They are also an excellent water reservoir. They are particularly suitable for Savagnin and Poulsard but also for Trousseau.
