DOMAINE DE MONTBOURGEAU COTES DU JURA TROUSSEAU 2022 - red

Style: Spicy & BrightThe Domaine de Montbourgeau is situated in the southwestern area of the Jura ,more precisely in the village of L’Etoile - meaning 'star'. depending on who you ask, the name comes from either the fact that five hills are surrounding the village make the shape of a star or, because of the many fossils of ancient starfish that you can find in the soils of this appellation. Either way, it is one of the smallest in the Jura with only 52 hectares. The vineyard was planted in 1920, by Nicole Deriaux's grandfather, and has produced traditional Jura wines since. In 1956 Nicole’s father, Jean Gros, became the head of the family and taking his turn to develop the vineyard and the cellar. Then some thirty years later in 1986, it was finally time for Nicole to take part in the operation of the Domaine. Continuing the family tradition, she is now helped by her son Cesar. They Deriaux's are hard-working people, with their efforts reflected in bottle. The wines are precise, straightforward, and with superb intensity.The ten hectares of vines are composed primarily of Chardonnay and Savagnin, as well as some reds with a small planting of Trousseau and Poulsard. The vineyard is organically farmed, and the vinification is very traditional, respecting the ancient practices of this region. Nicole Deriaux through her natural approach to viticulture and winemaking aims to retain and fully express the purity of l'Etoile terroir. The small quantity of wines produced is then bottled, with no fining and a light filtration. The L'Etoile signature style, crafted by talented Nicole Deriaux, are wines of unique purity and elegance that we are proud to import. MOSAIQUE WINES, ImporterThe 2022 Trousseau Côtes du Jura offers up spice-tinged red fruits, subtle blackberry notes and nuanced layers of forest floor. Gently structured by ripe tannins, the 2022 frames an elegant mouthfeel. Medium-bodied at most, this is a lovely Trousseau from the Dériaux brothers. Readers should note that there is no 2021 due to damage from spring frost. NICOLAS GREINACHER, VinousRegion : Jura, FRANCEVariety : Trousseau ABV: 13.5%Liquor Act 2007.
