VDF Poesis

La Bouchaude
Picture a small Jura estate where the vines are worked by hand, with real respect for the soil and its marl-and-limestone character. This red is all about freshness and honesty: no heavy make-up, just bright red fruit, a hint of wild berries and that gentle earthy touch the region does so well. Gentle extraction and careful ageing keep the tannins silky, so you can pour it young and enjoy it straight away, lightly chilled if you like. Try it with charcuterie, a comté-topped gratin or roast chicken. If you're curious about Jura reds, this is a lovely place to start.
