Poulsard
RedPoulsard is the signature red grape of France's Jura region, producing remarkably pale, translucent wines despite being classified as a red variety. This notoriously challenging grape thrives in the region's dense marl soils and creates wines of delicate structure with distinctive aromatics. More demanding to grow than even Pinot Noir, Poulsard rewards patient vignerons with wines of ethereal beauty and surprising complexity.
