Arbois Poulsard 2018 Domaine de la Pinte
Arbois Poulsard 2018 is a Jura red wine produced by Domaine De la Pinte. This French region has been underestimated for years and has suffered competition from neighboring Burgundy, despite being a land strongly suited to the production of the vine, thanks to the particular composition of the soil formed by blue, gray and black marls and a subsoil of fossils and minerals . This wine is obtained from 100% Poulsard grapes, one of the most cultivated indigenous grapes in the region, with an extension of about 20%, and is produced according to biodynamic methods without the addition of sulphites. The grapes have a very thin and poor anthocyanin skin, which is why they give life to unloaded and light red wines, with medium body, with an interesting quality-price ratio. Arbois Poulsard 2018 shows a beautiful ruby red color, not very rich; the nose shows hints of red fruits and delicate spices, while in the mouth it is of medium structure, with a beautiful freshness and a non-invasive tannin. A pleasant wine to drink with ease, to be combined with first courses or meat-based second courses.
