Sunset Savoie Wine

A sunset state of mind calls for something electric, wild and delicious. I decided to journey over to the picturesque, steep mountainous region of Jura, France.

Fact: Trousseau originates from the Jura region of northeastern France, but it is also grown in Portugal (aka Bastardo) for their fortified wines, Port and Madeira.

🇫🇷 Domaine Rolet Trousseau 2018

Arbois AOC, Jura, France

A well respected family business who create quality, pure wines through organic and sustainable practices that continue into the winery. This wine is made from 40+ year old vines with indigenous yeast and whole cluster fermentation aged in foudres.

🍷 Everything about the aromas are fresh - fresh red and dark forest fruits, tangerine, fresh cut purple flowers and freshly chopped wood.

🍷It has an untamed quality to it bursting with flavors of dark berries of blackberry, wild strawberry, cherry and raspberry, lilac, fresh pine, savory blood orange peel and finishes on black pepper and mint. The fine tannins are harmony with the buzzing acid that lingers.

🍷🍷 Its an acid driven wine that is so food friendly and an abv of 13%, it’s very easy drinking. Pair with a wild mushroom pâté, Comté cheese quiche, sausage stew or smoked duck breast with warm 5 spice. The beauty of this wine and the incredible sunset that all melded together into one beautiful moment…
