Domaine de l’Octavin ‘Corvee de Trousseau’ 2022 Jura, France

Description

Trousseau from forty year old vines in the parcel Les Corves near Montigny-les-Arsures, the spiritual home of the grape where the Jurassic marl provides perfect growing conditions. For this bottling, Alice blended the wines from 2022 and 2023, the former providing depth and complexity, the latter lending freshness. In each case the fruit was destemmed and spent two months on skins in cuve, before being pressed off to cuve to rest until assemblage in the spring of 2024. Full of energy, this encapsulates everything we love about the grape.
