In the glass
Aroma: morello cherry, spice, blackcurrant bud
Palate: morello cherry, spice
A blend of limestone parcels running to two hectares, average vine age around forty years. The estate reports a very typical Trousseau on morello cherry and spice, with an unusual blackcurrant bud note running through it.
What it pairs with

Charcuterie heads the estate's own list for this cuvee. -
Grilled red meat

Duck
Duck and lamb are on the estate's list, and the cherry note flatters them. -
Tagine
The estate specifically suggests spiced dishes such as tagines.
