Arbois Trousseau 2021

Terroir

A blend from a variety of terroirs, in particular the plots known as Les Graviers and En Poussots.

Soils of clay with chert.

Slope largely south-west facing.

Vinification and Ageing

Bunches completely destemmed and sorted by hand.

Ten days' vatting period after a pre-fermentation cold maceration lasting a few days. Once the fermentations are complete, the wine is aged in wooden tuns for 18 months.

Bouquet

Garnet red, brilliant and limpid, with glints of ruby.
A very intense nose of red fruits with light notes of humus and peppery spices.

Palate

Frank and full on the palate, with big, silky, typical Trousseau tannins.
Again the flavours are of red fruits and pepper.

Ageing Potential

From eight to twelve years.

Wine and Food Pairing

Perfect with a steak, small game cooked in sauce, or a cheese board.
Best served between 12 and 14°C.
