Vintage Character From the historic Côtes du Jura appellation, the 2023 Domaine de la Grapp'A Poulsard 'Les Sarres' showcases the vibrant potential of this classic French region. The 2023 growing season experienced a warm summer that balanced Jura’s signature high acidity with lovely fruit maturity, making this vintage exceptionally expressive and approachable. This cuvée originates from the distinct 'Les Sarres' lieu-dit, characterized by its classic marl soils which impart a trademark saline minerality and savory depth to the delicate Poulsard grapes.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing This light-bodied red opens with high-toned aromas of wild strawberry, cranberry, and fresh rose petals, accented by hints of white pepper and blood orange. On the palate, its bright acidity and low tannins yield a crunchy, energetic texture that finishes with a clean, saline-infused minerality. It pairs beautifully with classic charcuterie, roasted duck breast, or grilled chicken yakitori.
Winery Background Founded by former pharmaceutical professional Aurélie Petit in 2021, Domaine de la Grapp’A is a rising star in the Jura. Operating this tiny 1.8-hectare micro-domaine, Aurélie hand-harvests and practices organic and biodynamic farming to protect the natural ecosystem. Her low-intervention winemaking philosophy allows this delicate native grape to ferment naturally with minimal sulfur, creating an authentic, cult-status expression of modern Jura.
