Description

The Trousseau Poussot from the Lucien Aviet estate is a testament to a great terroir capable of producing Arbois wines of great intensity. The bouquet evokes notes of ripe black cherry and hints of cinnamon. The attack is marked by its volume and vinous character. The palate is full-bodied and silky, finishing with a spicy finish. Perfect with rabbit stewed with prunes.
