Description
Domaine Courbet, Côtes du Jura Trousseau
This wine is a perfect example of why so many Burgundy lovers—and Burgundy makers, for that matter—are making the pilgrimage east to France’s Jura region. Aside from the fact that it is a bucolic, completely unspoiled place—with the Swiss Alps looming in the distance—the lure of the Jura is fairly obvious: If you’re a wine geek, especially one who loves Burgundy, you can get strikingly similar elegance and perfume from their red and white wines alike. Trousseau, along with Poulsard, is a Jura specialty known for featherweight reds loaded with floral aromatics, bright wild-berry fruit, low alcohol, and gentle tannins. This is a joyful red best enjoyed with a light chill in Burgundy stems, paired with lighter meats such as chicken or pork.
