Nicolas Jacob Cotes du Jura Trousseau Au Mouiller 2020 AOC 0.75l

Nicolas Jacob Côtes du Jura Trousseau Au Mouiller 2020 AOC 0.75l is a red wine with character yet leaning toward lightness, born in a land of rocky mosaics and sloping soils in the Jura, where the Trousseau vine thrives in a cool season and temperate light that enhances its freshness. Producer Nicolas Jacob's story is that of a family winery that has made patience and care for the terroir its hallmark: small parcels, manual harvesting, careful ripening, and a philosophy that favors elegant tones over forced structure. The production approach is simple and respectful: a cellar that avoids excessive intervention, fermentations conducted with natural yeasts, careful temperature management to preserve liveliness and fruit, and an aging that aims to limit oak echoes while offering tactile softness on the palate. Au Mouiller's distinctive character lies in the interplay of red forest fruit, a mineral note reminiscent of Jura limestone, and a light spice that sparks perception without overpowering. The wine presents a bright, transparent yet intense ruby ​​color, with a nose that offers cherry, minty strawberry, and a hint of white pepper. On the palate, it offers a velvety texture, good acidity, and a tension that makes every sip fresh and inviting. A clean, slightly saline finish invites pairing with prosciutto appetizers or soft cheeses, mushroom dishes, or white meats. Within the context of a carefully curated range, Au Mouiller represents an everyday yet unconventional choice: a wine that pairs with informal gatherings without losing its ability to surprise from aperitif to dinner, offering a clear territorial identity while remaining accessible. True to the STELT positioning, this wine embodies understated elegance, terroir authenticity, and a promise of measured conviviality.
