Valentin Morel Trousseau 'Les Trouillots'
Country: France
Region: Jura
Grapes: Trousseau
Vintage: 2022
Valentin Morel originally trained in international law before being bitten by the wine bug and moving to the Alsace to learn winemaking under the influence of Pierre Frick among others. He returned to Jura in 2014 to take over the family vineyard and now cultivates 6 hectares of 40-45 year old vines.
This is his scintillating Trousseau from the red and grey marl soil of the Les Trouillots parcel that lies at the heart of the domaine. A ripe and smooth style with herb-inflected blackberry and black cherry fruit, luxurious texture and deceptive power.
