Jolie-Laide Wines Description
Our 2024 Trousseau Noir Red is a bold tribute to the adventurous vineyards of Northern California and the growers who dared to plant the unfamiliar. This unconventional blend features rare varieties: Trousseau Noir (45%), Cabernet Pfeffer (30%), Gamay (15%), and Poulsard (10%).
Trousseau leads with vibrant pomegranate and raspberry. Cabernet Pfeffer—once confused with Trousseau—brings a lift of fresh black pepper and rose hip. Gamay offers bright, juicy red fruit, while Poulsard adds a streak of vivid acidity.
Inspired by the wines of the French Alps, this “Outré Vin” is a distinctly Californian collage. Though labeled under a general California AVA, it resists easy classification. Each variety was fermented in tank—some partially carbonic, all whole cluster—and aged separately in neutral oak barrels. The result is a wine with layered spice, lean structure, and a mineral edge, celebrating nuance and originality with every sip.
