2020 l'Octavin Corvée de Trou Trou
WINEMAKER: Alice Bouvot
REGION: Jura, FR
VARIETAL: Trousseau
VITICULTURE: Organic/Biodynamic
"Trousseau from forty year old vines in the parcel ‘Les Corvées’ near Montigny-les-Arsures, the spiritual home of the grape where the Jurassic marl provides perfect growing conditions. The fruit was destemmed and spent two months on skins in cuve, before being pressed off to rest until the following spring. Slightly reduced on opening, a little air reveals a gorgeous perfume of red berries, earth and spice. Full of energy, this encapsulates everything we love about the grape." - Tutto
