Antoine Robles Trousseau "Clos des Vallieres" Cotes du Jura Rouge 2024 AOC 0,75l

Antoine Robles Trousseau Clos des Vallieres Cotes du Jura Rouge 2024 AOC 0,75l is a wine that conveys balance and a sense of place within the authentic context of the Jura, produced in a small vineyard at the heart of a region known for its mineral terroir and cool climate. The producer’s history is intertwined with a family passion for the vineyard and an artisanal approach: an independent winery that prioritizes sustainability, hands-on work, meticulous vineyard care, and a working philosophy that keeps cellar intervention to the minimum necessary to faithfully express the raw material. The production approach favors clean winemaking, with whole-cluster fermentation, native yeasts, and maturation in neutral vessels that preserve the freshness of the fruit without overpowering it; the aim is to express the specific character of the Clos des Vallieres, where soil and exposure impart an elegant minerality that supports the interpretation of Trousseau. This wine’s distinctive characteristics lie in its ability to combine elegance and spontaneity: an aromatic profile evoking wild berries, cherry, and a subtle peppery note, with a savory quality that balances the acidity and tannins against a light yet present structure. The ruby color has a delicate brilliance, while the palate reveals an agile and refined sip, with controlled softness, persistent freshness, and a clean finish that subtly but unmistakably evokes the terroir. Within the producer’s range, the Trousseau Clos des Vallieres serves as an introductory gem that presents a timeless language of terroir, ideal with charcuterie appetizers, aged cheeses, and delicate white meats, while also offering a window for evolution in the glass with oxygen and aging. In line with the STELT positioning, it presents itself as an expression of precision, restraint, and measured taste, capable of complementing authentic convivial moments without ostentation. This balance also makes it suitable for themed tastings and informal gatherings where simplicity takes center stage. The 0,75 L bottle is intended to be enjoyed within a few years of the harvest, but it also retains an interesting capacity for evolution.
