100% hand de-stemmed Trousseau, without any punch-down for the first two weeks of maceration. It is vinified in an open-top wooden fermenter, so as to extract less and infuse the wine more gently. Aged for one year in barrel. A delicate and light version of the sometimes 'feral' Trousseau. Pair with roasted chicken thighs and summer veggies.
This red from Tissot kicks off with an aroma that is expansive and nuanced: wet earth, candied cherries, dry hay, and fresh rhubarb. The palate follows suit to satisfy those looking for both freshness and an earthy profile. Taut red fruit, dried mushrooms, and shredded ginger.
