Light-ruby, fruity Poulsard (strawberry, raspberry), tannic, animal Trousseau as reds.
The wine region of Jura
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.
The word of the wine: Bitter
Normal for certain young red wines rich in tannin, bitterness is in other cases a defect due to a bacterial disease.
