Pont de Breux 2014 Cotes du Jura Poulsard

From a 1/2 hectare parcel on Kimmeridgian limestone in Marnoz, northeast of Arbois. 11% alcohol. Very pale garnet color, almost resembling a rosé. Austere nose with subtle aromas of red-currant, strawberry, earth and beach rose. The palate is tart and light, slightly tannic, with red-currant, earth and stone, very crystalline and long. All minerals and firm acidity on opening, giving way to beautiful floral notes and elegant yet restrained red fruit with 2-3 hours of air. Though it does seem to have potential for longer aging, we think this moment at 10 years, with time to breathe (2-3 hours in bottle, maybe more like an hour in a decanter), is a wonderful time to drink the wine.
