The Arbois-Pupillin ‘Sous la Roche’ Trousseau from Domaine de la Borde is a red wine from the Jura region that stands out for its crisp and dynamic character. Leading the winery is vigneron Julien Mareschal, who through a sustainable and genuine production approach aims to highlight the colorful qualities of the Pupillin terroir, where he tends to 5 hectares of vineyards.

The ‘Sous la Roche’ Trousseau from Domaine de la Borde Arbois-Pupillin is a 100% Trousseau wine from vines grown on soils composed of a layer of clay and limestone over deep red marl subsoils, characterized by steep slopes. Agronomic management is based on the principles of biodynamic agriculture, and the vines benefit from excellent southwest exposure and an altitude of 350 meters above sea level. Harvesting is done by hand followed by manual destemming of the clusters, with the berries being vinified without being crushed to favor semi-carbonic maceration. The grapes also undergo 2 days of cold maceration, with subsequent alcoholic fermentation taking place spontaneously in stainless steel tanks with skin contact for 20 days. For the subsequent aging phase, barrels of 228 liters of multiple passages are used, containers in which the wine rests for 10-12 months until the final bottling, carried out with minimal sulfite additions.

The Arbois-Pupillin ‘Sous la Roche’ Trousseau from Domaine de la Borde is a pure ruby red wine with luminous reflections. The aroma is very inviting with hints of raspberry, strawberry, rose, violet, and black pepper, all supported by a refined mineral undertone. The progression on the palate is flavorful and agile, light and delicate in its structure, with crisp freshness joining mature tannins in a persistent finish with fragrant sensations of red flowers and fruits.
