Domaine des Cavarodes AOP Côtes du Jura Trousseau Les Lumachelles 2023

This is his Trousseau “Lumachelles”, grown on limestone soils on part of his 4.5 hectares as part of the Cotes du Jura appellation. Expect bright blackberry and cherry fruit expressed boldly through semi-carbonic maceration alongside a mild pepper touch and some wilder edges keeping it raw.

'This Domaine des Cavarodes wine was also made from grapes picked from the Lumachelles vineyard as described for the Chardonnay above. The village closest to the vineyard is Mouchard, which is just north of Arbois and just south of Cramans.

This light red wine is made from the Trousseau grape variety which is thought to be native to the Jura but which can now be found in Spain and Australia under the name of Bastardo.

It was bottled without being fined or filtered and no sulphites were added at any stage.

This is a very good example of a Jura red wine which is a light, delicate red which has elegance and very good structure.

In the Jura it is common for winemakers to serve the red wines first in a tasting as they are often light and ethereal (like this one) whereas the whites are much stronger.'
