DOM PHILIPPE VANDELLE JURA TROUSSEAU 2020

Domaine Philippe Vandelle, a family-run winery established in 1883, cultivates 13 hectares of vines in the L Etoile region of Jura, France. Following sustainable viticulture practices, they primarily grow Chardonnay and Savagnin grapes for their white wines, but also cultivate some red varietals. These vineyards benefit from the sunshine and the unique white marl soil composition of the upper Lias slopes, which are particularly well-suited for growing Savagnin grapes and contribute to the wines distinctive character. This Côtes du Jura is a single-varietal Trousseau, a red grape native to eastern France. The 30-year-old vines are planted in clay-limestone soil. Vinification and aging occur entirely in thermo-regulated stainless steel tanks, resulting in a production of just 3,500 bottles. Expect a deep red wine with lively acidity and aromas/flavors of red berries. Enjoy it at room temperature with smoked cheeses, charcuterie, red meats, duck, and other hearty dishes.
