It is one of the five varieties permitted in the region's appellations, yet it covers only about five percent of the vineyards, which makes Trousseau a small grape even on home ground. DNA research shows it is closely related to \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/savagnin\"\u003eSavagnin\u003c\/a\u003e, the Jura's leading white grape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vine needs warmth and sunshine to ripen and is picked late. In the Jura it is therefore planted on the warmer, well drained slopes, and the village of Montigny-lès-Arsures near Arbois is often called the capital of Trousseau. Arbois is also the appellation that makes by far the largest share of the Jura's red wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat does Trousseau red wine taste like?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrousseau gives a cherry red wine with more colour, alcohol and structure than the Jura's other red grape, the pale Poulsard. The nose shows red berries, cherry and often a spicy, slightly earthy note, carried by fresh, juicy acidity. It is an elegant red in which freshness and fruit count for more than power. If you enjoy \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pinot-noir\"\u003ePinot Noir\u003c\/a\u003e, Trousseau is an obvious next step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany growers bottle Trousseau on its own, while others blend it with Poulsard and Pinot Noir in classic Arbois Rouge and Côtes du Jura Rouge, where Trousseau adds body and colour.

From the Côtes du Jura there is Trousseau from Domaine Pignier, which also bottles the single vineyard Gauthières and a Crémant du Jura Brut Nature.

Try it with poultry, duck, pork, sausages and charcuterie, with mushroom dishes and with the Jura's own cheeses such as Comté. Serve it lightly chilled to bring out the fruit and freshness. Plenty of Trousseau is farmed organically and made with a light hand in the cellar, which suits the grape's transparent style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTrousseau FAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between Poulsard and Trousseau?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth are red Jura grapes, but Poulsard makes a very pale, almost rosé-like wine with little tannin, while Trousseau has more colour, alcohol and structure. The two are often blended in Arbois Rouge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre Trousseau and Bastardo the same grape?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
