Domaine Rolet Trousseau 2018
Arbois, Jura, FranceTrousseau vines were planted in Montigny-les-Arsures, on hillsides on the localities of Chagnon and L'Euvrin, as well as Arbois' Montesserin. The marl and clay soils are ideal for the trousseau, as proven by this charming wine. After destemming and a few days of maceration, it was fermented in stainless for three weeks and then aged for 9 months in a split of stainless and foudre. Pouring an orange/crimson hue, this charms with fragrant raspberry, wild plum, finely rasped pink peppercorn, gentle smoked stone, and fresh autumnal notes. Acidity is crunchy, and tannins are fine yet firm, guiding this charmer through the lingering, salted, mouthwatering finish.Tasted: 16 February 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $35.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
