Domaine Grand Trousseau

Domaine Grand was founded in 1692 and today is in the capable hands of Nathalie and Emmanuel Grand, who have been behind the move towards organics. Their wines are towards the richer and more oxidative end of the scale – broad and rich, yet always controlled, plus a superb fizz and an excellent red. They make 19 wines in total from 9.5 hectares and are considered to be one of the most exciting up-and-coming Jura estates. Trousseau is one of the Jura's two indigenous red grape varieties making light-medium bodied aromatic wines. This wine undergoes a pre-fermentation cold soak, partial carbonic maceration, and is barrel-aged. Crushed forest fruits, silky palate medium-bodied, soft ripe tannins; juicy fruits with an appealing gaminess coming through on the finish.
