Domaine La Patelle, Trousseau Bout D'Vin 2023

Domaine La Patelle Trousseau Bout D'Vin 2023 is a vibrant, stainless-steel–raised red from the Jura that puts purity of fruit front and center. Crafted from the characterful Trousseau grape, it marries deeper color and concentration with the delicacy and freshness that define the region. This cuvée reflects winemaker Pascal’s stylistic choice to let the grape and terroir speak clearly, without the influence of oak, in a contemporary expression of a historic Jura variety.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the Bout D'Vin 2023 shows a deeper, luminous ruby hue than many classic Jura reds, edging toward dark cherry with a translucent core. The nose is immediately expressive: dark Morello cherries leap from the glass, followed by wild raspberries, redcurrant, and a lift of crushed pepper, dried rose petals, and subtle spice. On the palate, the wine is juicy, agile, and mouthwatering, with an energetic line of acidity that keeps all that ripe red fruit in perfect balance. Flavors of sour cherry, pomegranate, and crunchy red berries mingle with a gentle savory note—think white pepper, a hint of forest floor, and a whisper of spice. Tannins are fine and lightly grippy, giving structure without ever feeling heavy. This is a wine built for early enjoyment, but 3–5 years of careful cellaring should reward you with even more aromatic complexity and silkier texture.

Production
Sourced from Jura vineyards where Trousseau thrives on the region’s cool climate and mineral-rich soils, Domaine La Patelle’s Bout D'Vin 2023 is all about clarity of expression. The grapes are harvested with a focus on ripeness and freshness, then brought promptly to the cellar. Pascal ferments and ages the wine exclusively in stainless steel, a deliberate choice that preserves the intensity of fruit, bright acidity, and the grape’s natural spice. This minimalist, low-intervention approach allows the terroir-driven character of Jura Trousseau to shine without oak influence, resulting in a vivid, precise red.

Food & Serving
This Trousseau is a wonderfully versatile food wine, ideal with charcuterie, pâté, and cured meats, or lighter dishes such as roast chicken, duck breast, or pork with herbs. It also pairs beautifully with mushroom-based plates, grilled vegetables, and soft to semi-hard cheeses from the region, like Comté. Serve slightly chilled, around 14–16°C (57–61°F), to highlight its freshness and aromatic lift. Decanting for 20–30 minutes can help the red fruit and spice notes open up, especially in its youth.

Producer
