then macerated on their skins for eight days without disturbing the cap

with earthy notes coming from the time in amphora

a variety that was nearly lost after the phylloxera crisis of the 19th century

Les Insouciantes Year:2023 then macerated on their skinsLes Insouciantes, the carefree ones, is a joyful red from the Jura hills around Saint Lothain. It comes from organically farmed 40 year old vines rooted in limestone and blue marl at about 300 metres, in vineyards full of life birds, spiders, rabbits and rich plant diversity. The wine is an unusual blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Poulsard and Trousseau, mixing classic Burgundian grapes with local Jura varieties and even a white grape in a red wine.
