TROUSSEAU BRUYÈRES ROSIÈRE 2022 - Cuvée des Géologues (Lucien AVIET & fils)

AGE OF VINES: N/A

LOCATION: blend of two terroirs located in the plots Les Bruyères (accounting for 2/3 of the blend) and Rosière (1/3 of the blend).

EXPOSURE: South.

SOILS:

• Les Bruyères consists of shaly marls from the RHAETIAN (Triassic era) covered on the surface by a thick layer of runoff silt. This is highly beneficial for the vines, as roots can easily penetrate and access the water resources essential for overcoming summer droughts.
• Rosière is a location very favorable to the flourishing of Trousseau. Its bedrock consists of iridescent marls from the KEUPER (Triassic era); being crumbly and easily erodible, these marls rarely outcrop on the surface.

"A very fruity vintage, with gourmet aromas of small red and black fruits and a subtle hint of violet. The somewhat pronounced tannins require decanting in the early years. Peak expected between 2027 and 2030."
