In the glass
Aroma: forest floor, spice
Palate: red fruit, spice
Four Trousseau types interplanted with 5 percent Poulsard and Enfarine on black Rhaetian sandstone and marl, cropped at around 28 hl per hectare. Pignier describes a fruity, spicy, silky and deep red whose perfume recalls autumn and the Jura forest.
