About this product
Jura's indigenous red grape — Trousseau from Arbois. Deeply coloured despite naturally low tannin; iron-mineral, red berry, violet, and the distinctive chalky-clay terroir of Arbois. Aged in old barrels without oxidation (ouillé style). One of France's most original red wines: more structured than Poulsard but lighter than Pinot Noir — the ideal somm's choice for difficult food pairings requiring red wine with fish or offal.

Jura Trousseau's iron-mineral, red fruit character makes it one of France's finest pairings for offal — the wine's natural iron echoes the liver's minerality while the balsamic and sage provide the acidity and herb character that bridge the wine's savoury depth.
