2020 | Bacchus Trousseau "Géologues - Marne Rouge" | Jura | France

A characterful Jura Trousseau — pale, savory, and alive, from the marl soils of eastern France.

This Bacchus "Géologues — Marne Rouge" is a Trousseau from the Jura, the small, cult region between Burgundy and Switzerland. Trousseau is Jura's spicy, pale-colored red grape, and this bottling — named for the red marl soils it grows on — is a savory, energetic, terroir-driven red for the natural-wine curious.

A Jura Trousseau is one of France's great outsider reds. Jura, red-marl soils, Trousseau → pale, savory, energetic → you're drinking a cult-region rarity.

Red cherry, cranberry and wild strawberry over earth, dried herbs and pepper with light, fine tannins, bright acidity and a savory, mineral finish. Translation: a pale, savory Jura red — bright red fruit with earth, herb and pepper over light, fresh tannins. Energetic and mineral; delicious with a slight chill.

A Jura Trousseau. Exactly the bottle for roast chicken, charcuterie, or mushroom dishes — lightly chilled.
