The 2022 Domaine Pignier Côtes du Jura Trousseau is a Jura red wine produced by Domaine Pignier, one of the region's most historic estates and a pioneer of biodynamic viticulture in eastern France. With origins dating back to the 13th century, the estate has become a benchmark for traditional Jura grape varieties and low-intervention winemaking, focusing on expressing the distinctive character of the region's soils and climate.

Made from 100% Trousseau, one of the Jura's signature red grape varieties, the wine is sourced from vineyards planted on marl and limestone soils around Montaigu. Trousseau is known for producing wines that combine aromatic intensity with freshness and structure, often displaying greater depth and spice than the lighter styles traditionally associated with the Jura.

The 2022 growing season provided excellent ripening conditions, resulting in fruit with both concentration and balance. The wine opens with aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry, complemented by notes of white pepper, dried herbs, rose petals and subtle earthy undertones. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and energetic, with bright acidity supporting a core of vibrant red fruit. Fine tannins provide structure, while savoury and mineral nuances contribute complexity and length to the finish.

Trousseau has gained increasing attention among sommeliers and collectors for its distinctive personality and food-friendly character. While often compared to Pinot Noir for its elegance, Trousseau typically offers a more pronounced spicy and savoury profile, making it one of the most compelling indigenous grape varieties in France.
