Description

Trousseau offers an interesting combination of great tannins, a light colour and body, and intense flavours that even include gaminess. It is late-budding and therefore doesn’t suffer the notorious Spring frosts of the Jura. It’s Marin’s favourite Jura variety.

Winemaking:

The old Trousseau vines were planted between 1962 and 1970 on clay and limestone soil. The grapes are picked from a couple of vineyards in Montigny-les-Arsures. 50% are destemmed while the rest is kept whole, then pressed and macerated on skins for 20 days, following a wild fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The wine remains there for 10 months.
