Rouge AOC Arbois, 12,7%vol, 800 bottles
Price : 10€
Taking its name from that of our main plot of vines in Mesnay, this 100% Ploussard red is one of a kind and will only be possible in the best hot, dry years. The grapes were picked last in order to allow the berries, seeds and stems to arrive at full maturity, giving a full-bodied wine. The bunches were macerated with their stalks, to obtain sharp tannins, a flavour of kirsch and a deep red colour. These rugged traits were preserved by maturing the wine in tanks, rather than in barrels. Its powerful aroma will be well matched with strong cheeses and red meats. If forgotten in a cellar for ten to fifteen years, this wine will emerge softened and more polished.
