From Domaine de la Touraize in France's Arbois, Jura, the Arbois Ploussard La Cabane 2021 is a refined 100% Ploussard sourced from 1.2 hectares across two parcels: Curoulet on blue marl (planted early 1980s) and La Touraize on grey marl (planted early 1960s), with vines aged 20-40 years. Hand-harvested grapes undergo manual destemming using a traditional crible, semi-carbonic maceration in stainless steel vats with indigenous yeasts, followed by aging in neutral vessels to preserve vibrancy. Certified organic and committed to minimal intervention by eighth-generation winemaker André-Jean Morin, this production yields a translucent ruby wine with soaring purity and graceful finesse.
Tasting Notes An elegant, ethereal red with pure red fruit and mineral lightness, reflecting Arbois's marl terroir. The nose reveals red apple, citrus zest, and hints of flint and white flowers. On the palate, it is light-bodied and persistent, with bright acidity, delicate tannins, and flavors of raspberry, blood orange, and subtle spice, leading to a crisp, mineral finish.
