WINEMAKER: Michel Gahier
REGION: Jura, FR
VARIETY: Trousseau
VITICULTURE: Organic
"Rouge du Max is a new wine for Michel Gahier made from vines that were previously owned by his brother who died recently. Michel was helped in the making of this wine by his nephew whose name is Max.
The parcel of land where the vines grow is only .25 hectares and grows 1% Mondeuse and 9% Pinot Noir with the rest being the inevitable Trousseau for the area around Cramans which is only a short drive from Michel’s place which is in the very centre of Trousseau country. The soil around Cramans is light with lots of pebbles. The wine was matured in foudre which Michel Gahier uses for all of his red wines." - Living Wines
Michel Gahier lives in the centre of the village of Montigny-les-Arsures which lies near the central town of Arbois. The reason this is significant is that Montigny is regarded as the finest terroir for the Trousseau grape in the Jura. When we first tasted his wines we were very excited by their purity and their minerality. Michel is a quiet but talented vigneron who tends his vines meticulously and watches carefully over his wines as they are maturing. He likes to make his wine using the traditional techniques of the Jura. Michel tends 6 hectares of vines of which 3 hectares are given over to Trousseau and the remainder is split between Chardonnay and Savagnin.
