Arbois Trousseau, Le Glanon

Le Glanon's Trousseau is a light, perfumed red from Arbois in the Jura, showing what this indigenous variety can do when it's grown in the right place and handled with care. This is Trousseau at its most elegant and expressive – bright, fresh, and full of character.

Le Glanon is a small producer in Arbois, the heart of the Jura, working with old vines and minimal intervention winemaking to create wines with purity, precision, and real character. The vineyards sit on the region's distinctive limestone and marl soils, which give the wines their characteristic mineral edge and precision.

Trousseau is one of the Jura's indigenous red varieties, producing wines that are lighter in body but full of perfume and complexity. What you get is red berries, herbs, a touch of spice, and that characteristic bright acidity that makes it so food-friendly. There's delicate fruit and elegance here, but nothing feels heavy or overdone.

The winemaking approach is minimal intervention – letting the fruit and terroir express themselves without interference. The result is a wine that's both approachable and genuinely interesting, showing what makes Jura reds so distinctive and different from anything else in France.

Serve it at room temperature or slightly chilled with charcuterie, mushrooms, lighter meat dishes, or aged cheeses. This is honest, elegant Jura red at a great price, perfect for those who want something lighter and more perfumed than typical reds.
