Trousseau


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.
