2019 François Rousset-Martin Cuvée PP André

François first became interested in wine growing up in Burgundy where his father was a micro-biologist for the Hospices de Beaune. Childhood trips were spent in the Jura getting to know and falling in love with a parcel of family vines which he would later vinify with his father, belonging to his grandfather. After earning an oenology degree he returned to his Jura roots and in 2006 launched his winery. A highly sought-after cult producer. "A 50/50 blend of Pinot Noir and Poulsard, the 2019 Côtes du Jura PP André Pinot Poulsard is a bit of a ply with words, as PP could be Pinot-Poulsard or also Pépé, grandfather in French. This is only the forth year he made reds and the first time he has used some full clusters, because the ripe 2019 vintage allowed for the stems to be ripe. So, he used some 15% of the stems for the vinification. It's fruit-driven and straightforward, combining the earthy delights of Poulsard with the elegance of Pinot." - Andrew Guard
