Description
What type of wine it is
Ploussard from Domaine de la Renardiere is a still organic red wine produced in the Jura region. This wine is made exclusively from the Poulsard grape variety and is a faithful expression of the prestigious Arbois-Pupillin appellation. The sensory profile stands out for its fresh and elegant style, characterised by aromas of small red fruits and earthy notes, offering a silky texture and long persistence on the palate. Careful production, which includes spontaneous fermentation and ageing in oak, gives this label a remarkable potential for long ageing.
Where it comes from
This red comes from the hills of Jura, in eastern France, and specifically from the renowned district of Pupillin. The area benefits from a cool continental climate, tempered by mountain influences that encourage a slow and progressive ripening of the grapes. The soil is deeply characterised by iridescent marls dating back to the Triassic period, a decisive geological element that gives the grape variety its peculiar qualities of elegance and finesse. In this particular environmental context, careful farming allows the viticultural vocation of the territory to be enhanced, resulting in a precise and harmonious aromatic profile.
How it is produced
The production process starts with a traditional fermentation conducted exclusively with indigenous yeasts. Subsequently, the wine rests and matures for approximately fourteen months in large oak casks, a vessel chosen to enrich the structure without overpowering the original character of the fruit. At the end of the ageing period, bottling takes place with zero filtration to keep the expressive richness and fullness of flavour intact. This low-intervention approach ensures great gustatory clarity and allows the wine to evolve positively over the years.
