Description
The 2020 “Trousseau” from Domaine Fumey Chatelain is crafted from the Jura’s iconic grape variety, Trousseau, which produces wines with more structure and spice compared to Poulsard or Pinot Noir. This indigenous grape from the Arbois region is renowned for its finesse while offering a robust structure. Domaine Fumey Chatelain, through its respectful practices of vine cultivation and terroir, allows this wine to fully express the typicity of Trousseau and the Jura.
Blend
Trousseau: A late-ripening variety that delivers structured wines with ripe red and black fruit aromas and a distinct spiciness. It perfectly expresses the Jura’s clay-limestone terroir.
Tasting Notes
Appearance: Garnet red with slightly brownish reflections, deeper than that of Poulsard wines.
Nose: Intense aromas of black cherries, blackberries, and plums, with peppery and undergrowth notes. Hints of leather and tobacco develop as it aerates, adding complexity.
Palate: The palate is full-bodied and structured, with well-integrated but prominent tannins. Ripe fruit flavors of red and black berries are concentrated, accompanied by soft spice and a light minerality on the finish. The balance between acidity and structure is remarkable.
Aging Potential
The 2020 “Trousseau” can be enjoyed young for its fresh fruit aromas and liveliness. However, it has a good aging potential of 7 to 10 years, during which it will develop more complex notes of forest floor, mushrooms, and leather.
Food Pairing
This structured and spicy wine pairs beautifully with:
Grilled red meats (lamb, beef)
Game (venison, wild boar)
Dishes in sauce (daube, bourguignon)
Artisanal charcuterie and pâtés
Aged cheeses (comté, mountain tomme)
