Ruzard Rosière 2020 is a Jura red from Trousseau, drawn from two Aviet parcels around Arbois. It is light in colour, aromatic and dry, with red fruit, pepper and a savoury, mountain-fresh line. WINEMAKING: fermentation uses native yeasts in old wooden vats, with gentle extraction to protect perfume and shape. Ageing takes place for twelve months in old foudres, keeping oak in the background and preserving a pale, precise structure. FOOD PAIRING: serve slightly cool, at 14 to 15 °C. It suits roast poultry, veal, charcuterie, mushrooms and aged Comté. Its fine tannins and bright acidity also work well with regional dishes made with cream, morels or smoked sausage.
