Description

Stéphane Tissot’s Trousseau Singulier is an extremely easy-drinking Arbois wine with a delicate texture. The nose is particularly characteristic of Trousseau: red berries (raspberry, morello cherry, cherry, redcurrant), a few floral notes, and spices. Balance is the key word here: freshness, fullness, body, tannic structure… Everything is perfectly in harmony. A truly beautiful wine!

The Stéphane Tissot Arbois Trousseau Singulier cuvée in detail:

• Harvest, vinification and ageing: Hand-harvested into crates. Strict sorting, destemming, and fermentation for one month in truncated wooden vats with occasional punching down. Aged in ½-muits (600-litre barrels), 10% of which are new, for one year. Bottled without filtration. Fairly low SO₂ dosage: 2g/hl added at vatting and 2g at bottling.
