We love a well-crafted American take on a rare French varietal, especially the grapes traditionally grown in the Jura. Arnot-Roberts’ carefully crafted trousseau shows a welcome bit of Californian heft, making it ready for to accompany a wide range of dishes. We’re thinking salmon, whether grilled, seared, or smoked. Cheers!
From the producers: “We began making Trousseau in 2009, when we discovered the variety growing at the Luchsinger Vineyard, situated at 1,400’ elevation in the Big Valley AVA of Lake County. The vines here are planted in rocky volcanic alluvium on the remains of an ancient riverbed, and Trousseau thrives in the warm days and cool nights characteristic of this area. The remainder of the blend came from a new addition to our vineyard sources, Las Cimas Vineyard. Situated at 800’ elevation in the western hills overlooking the Russian River Valley, the soils here are made up of fractured sandstone dotted with quartz and schist. The vines are thriving in the combination of ample sun and daily cooling breezes from the Russian River Valley below. We appreciate this unique variety for its ability to make a wine that is light in color but packed with flavor, and we feel it is an extremely versatile wine that will pair well with a wide variety of foods and occasions.”
