Touraize 2022 Arbois Trousseau Les Corvees

Domaine de la Touraize owns a 1.95-hectare parcel of Trousseau planted in 1972 in the southwest-exposed Les Corvées vineyard, whose warmth-retaining soils of gravel over marl are particularly suited to the variety. The bunches are manually harvested and lightly crushed, and fermentation occurs during a three-week maceration with occasional pump-overs and no punch-downs. It is raised for one year in a combination of 80% large foudres and 20% terracotta jar, giving it texture while remaining incredibly pure and full of energy. The fruit is bright and fresh with some subtle reduction upon opening that blows off with time.
