Arbois Ploussard en Aspis 4eme Feuille Adeline Houillon & Renaud Bruyère 2018

The wine

Adeline Houillon and Renaud Bruyère head this estate, established in 2011, and bring us this red Arbois produced from Poulsard, a typical Jura grape variety also known as Ploussard. The Plousard vines used to produce this wine flourish in a semi-continental climate, and are encouraged to draw the nutrients they require to thrive from marl and limestone soils, by means of organic and biodynamic cultivation methods. In the winery, the same commitment to preserving the terroir and the identity of the grape varieties continues with low-intervention vinification methods that allow the native yeasts to trigger the fermentation process.
Tasting reveals a wine driven by notes of red fruit and other aromas known as foxy. The round and flavoursome palate is supported by delicate tannins. This cuvée can be enjoyed young with relatively simple dishes.

Adeline Houillon and Renaud Bruyère created their domain in 2011 with 75 hundred square metres of vines close to Arbois. The vineyard has since expanded and now spans 5 hectares. They grow local varieties such as Savagnin, Trousseau and Chardonnay following biodynamic principles and vinify them as naturally as possible. They strive to find the perfect balance between terroir, vintage and grape variety.
