2020 Arnaud et Malou Greiner La Cart'ouche

WINEMAKER: Arnaud & Malou Greiner
REGION: Jura, FR
VARIETAL: Pinot Noir, Poulsard, Trousseau
VITICULTURE: Certified Organic

"A blend of around eighty percent Pinot Noir with a little Ploussard and Trousseau from four parcels around the village of Liesle. Destemmed by hand and fermented in cuve on the skins for around a month, before being pressed off to old barrels for a year. A delicate, savoury wine that pairs little red fruits with just the right amount of earth and spice." - Tutto

Arnaud Greiner is a talented and passionate young man who has been working for other Jura producers for many years. He has also been making his own wine and has just made his second commercial release (we received a small supply of his first release in 2018). We are delighted that he has agreed to supply us with some of his miniscule production. Arnaud and his partner Malou have a number of very small parcels of vines near the village of Liesle which add up to the grand total of a little less than one hectare. Each of the plots sit in a forest setting far from an agricultural sprays from the farms around the area. Arnaud and Malou are certified organic by Ecocert. They do not use any sulphites in the production of their lovely wines. The wine labels are designed by the delightful Cecile Mouget who also acts as the translator for us.
