Arbois Trousseau

Trousseau vines (30 years old) were planted in Montigny-les-Arsures, on hillsides on the localities of Chagnon and L'Euvrin, as well as Arbois' Montesserin. The marl and clay soils are ideal for the trousseau, as proven by this charming wine. After destemming and a few days of maceration, it was fermented in stainless for three weeks and then aged for 9 months in a split of stainless and foudre. Pouring a light, dusky crimson hue, this streams wild raspberry, perfumed cherry, forest wild flowers, and a finely buzzy texture, all wrapped with slightly tuggy tannins. This current release means the winery has done all the aging for you. Drink now, ideally with wild mushroom dishes.

“Classic Jura by cause of its oxidative and rustic stylistic with the local Trousseau and ambience getting together for what’s expected and necessary. This is red wine for those who know and want what this is want to give. Rosy red fruit, musky and gentle, very resolved and ready to please. This is the kind of wine for those who like to sit back and dream, not thinking too much, just sipping and letting imagination create the diversion. Drink 2023-2025. Tasted November 2023.” - 90 points, Michael Godel, WineAlign.com
