Jura, France— The road to establishing Les Dolomies was long, but the quality of Céline and Steve Gormally’s wines and their success on various export markets has made it all worthwhile
Joined full-time by husband Steve in 2016, Céline initially rented a small 0.5ha parcel in Passenans while working for other producers in the Jura, including the domaines Labet, Badoz, and St-Pierre.
With the help of Terre De Liens, an organisation that supports agroecological farmers in securing land, she then bought another hectare in 2008 and created Les Dolomies – a reference to Passenans’ dolomitic rock, a salty magnesium-rich limestone.
Nowadays the couple farm 5.5ha of vines, scattered around 10 plots in five villages, including the prestigious Château-Chalon, with a potential of 6.5ha once the restructure and ongoing plantations are completed.
