Varietal

Trousseau

Trousseau, known as Bastardo in Portugal, is a red grape primarily cultivated in the Jura region of France and also in Portugal. It produces wines that are pale in color but rich in flavor, often displaying notes of red berries, herbs, and a distinctive earthiness. Trousseau wines are typically light to medium-bodied with vibrant acidity and silky tannins. They are aged in neutral oak barrels to preserve their delicate fruit flavors and develop complex nuances over time. Unique to Trousseau is its ability to reflect the terroir of the Jura region, including the limestone-rich soils that impart a mineral edge to the wine. This grape variety appeals to wine enthusiasts seeking unique, terroir-driven wines with a sense of history and tradition, showcasing the artistry of winemaking in a specific geographic area.
