Light-bodied and fruity yet earthy, this is a refreshing red wine with fine tannins, balanced acidity. and surprisingly complex flavors. ranging from red berries to animalistic notes.
Notes on the Producer
The Richard family bought this domaine from a neighbor in 1919; they have been making wine ever since in the Vernois, at the heart of the Jura. Now in the care of Pierre and his son Vincent, the 23 acres of vines sit over soils similar to those of Chateau-Chalon. The Richard wines are rigorously traditional: Pierre and Vincent use only indigenous yeasts, and they make the entire range of Jura wines, from Macvin and vin jaune to Trousseau and this Plousard.
