Description
WINEMAKER: Nicole Deriaux
REGION: Jura, FR
VARIETAL: Trousseau
VITICULTURE: Organic
Montbourgeau’s tiny-production Trousseau comes from a southeast-facing parcel planted in calcareous grey marne. Nicole’s son César handles the vinification and elevage of the red wines, and for the Trousseau he retains whole clusters for 50% of the harvest, lending the wine a lovely spice note. It undergoes a natural fermentation in steel for one week, then ages for one year, half in stainless steel and half in used 500-liter barrels.
The Domaine de Montbourgeau is situated in the southwestern area of the Jura ,more precisely in the village of L’Etoile - meaning 'star'. depending on who you ask, the name comes from either the fact that five hills are surrounding the village make the shape of a star or, because of the many fossils of ancient starfish that you can find in the soils of this appellation. Either way, it is one of the smallest in the Jura with only 52 hectares.
The vineyard was planted in 1920, by Nicole Deriaux's grandfather, and has produced traditional Jura wines since. In 1956 Nicole’s father, Jean Gros, became the head of the family and taking his turn to develop the vineyard and the cellar. Then some thirty years later in 1986, it was finally time for Nicole to take part in the operation of the Domaine. Continuing the family tradition, she is now helped by her son Cesar. The Deriaux's are hard-working people, with their efforts reflected in bottle. The wines are precise, straightforward, and with superb intensity.
