In the glass
Aroma: redcurrant, wild strawberry, dried rose
Palate: redcurrant, cranberry, light spice
Poulsard gives the palest reds in France, barely more than a deep rose in colour and very low in tannin. The domaine works old vines and talks about the delicacy and aerial character of the grape, with fifteen months in foudre keeping any wood influence out of the way.
