Trousseau is the royal red grape of the Jura, and in Michel Gahier's hands, it makes some beautiful wines. This cuvee exudes fresh juicyness and hints of smokiness. It has good structure, very good length and is quite juicy. A hint of reduction and a trace of trapped carbon dioxide speak to the no-sulfur methodology. Following total de-stemming and a short cold soak, wine ferments spontaneously in neutral oak foudres. Cuvasion lasts 4 weeks. Elevage 18 months in neutral oak foudres. Unfined/Unfiltered. No added SO2.
