Poulsard Les Chazaux, 2024

The Jura's own pale red grape, from a newer Nicolas Jacob vineyard on marl and limestone. Wild-fermented, bottled unfiltered.

The Jura's own red grape, Poulsard, is thin-skinned and pale. Les Chazaux is one of Nicolas Jacob's newer vineyards, on marl and limestone, farmed organically and biodynamically. Wild yeasts do the fermenting, then the wine spends under a year in old barrels and goes to bottle unfiltered with little or no sulphur. Crunchy red berries, alpine herbs and delicate florals over silky tannins.
