Produced from grapes grown in the Poligny, in the heart of the Jura, due to the varietal’s being part of the appellation in this region, Vin de France level wines are NOT allowed to include the varietal on the label.
Whole cluster fermentation follows an 8 day carbonic maceration. The wine is then pressed before the end of the fermentation, and put in barrel to finish fermenting, resulting in an exuberant, energetic and fruity wine with minimal tannic structure. Bottled after 6 months in neutral oak barrels with minimal SO2.
Deeper red fruit than the Poulsard due to the thicker skins of this varietal. Bright cherry aromatics are enchanting, to say the least. Soft tannins and a fresh energetic mouthfeel make this a perfect food wine.
