2023 Domaine Tournelle Arbois Rouge Trousseau des Corvées

100% Trousseau from biodynamically cultivated vines planted on gravelly soils over shallow gray marl from the Lias period. Sourced from the renowned lieu-dit Les Corvées with south-facing exposure, a site also farmed by notable producers like Ganevat and Ratte. Grapes are hand-harvested in small baskets and 100% hand-destemmed at the vineyard. After very light crushing, the fruit undergoes 10-30 days of maceration depending on vintage with daily pigeage. Spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts occurs in open cylindrical tanks, followed by malolactic fermentation. The wine is aged 12 months in neutral oak foudres before being bottled unfined, unfiltered, and without added SO2.
