Domaine Rolet Côtes du Jura Rouge Les Grandvaux 2015
Jura, FranceThis blend of 60/40 poulsard and pinot noir is from a single, co-planted, red marl soiled vineyard called Les Grandvaux. After a stainless ferment, the poulsard ages in foudre for a year, while the pinot noir rests in Burgundy barrels. Pouring a light bricking cherry hue, the medium palate carries walnuts, baked plums, dried red currants, light nutmeg spicing down the long frame, sided with ample fine raspy tannins and buoyed by a tart, bright, cranberry acidity. The poulsard gives it a wild rusticity, while pinot's côte character adds charm. Drink now, with a slight chill, and plate of mountain cheese and charcuterie.Tasted: 30 September 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:ON | $29.95 | 750ml | consignment |
