Wines made from Trousseau grapes of Jura
Discover the best wines made with Trousseau as a single variety or as a blend of Jura.
Supple and fruity reds with a clear ruby colour, fine tannins and fresh acidity, on aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, raspberry, sweet spices, dried flowers and earthy notes. Elegant palate, taut finish. Star of Jura appellations (Arbois AOC, Côtes du Jura AOC), notably on the gravelly terroirs of Montigny-lès-Arsures. Also planted in California and Portugal as Bastardo (one of Port's five noble grapes). Native Jura variety.
Unique Franche-Comté region between Burgundy and Switzerland, incomparable oxidative identity. Signature mythical Vin Jaune from Savagnin: aged 6 years 3 months in cask under flor, intense whites with signature green walnut, curry, cumin, russet apple, honey and lingering iodine — 62 cl clavelin, century-long ageing. Also classic topped-up Chardonnay (citrus, butter), pale light Poulsard red (strawberry, undergrowth), dense Trousseau, fine Pinot Noir. Sweet Vin de Paille.
