This is a varietal wine made from
Trousseau from the Jura. I have actually also blogged about another varietal
made from this grape, but that was a fortified wine from the Barossa Valley in
Australia and the grape was called Bastardo (using its Portuguese name - apt
considering that the resultant wine is a Port-like creation). This wine however
is dry and a limpid red in colour. The nose was sweet with red fruits, whilst
the palate was off-dry followed by acidic, accompanied by some fruity notes.
The acidity formed a good supporting backbone for the wine accompanied by a
touch of astringent tannins.
