TROUSSEAU

A Jurassian variety par excellence, Trousseau is also difficult to cultivate and gives low but more regular yields (especially Trousseau à la Dame).

This variety with thicker skin is more resistant than Poulsard; it is adapting better to global warming.

TERROIR

Geological surveys have shown that ideal sites for growing Trousseau exist all over the Jura. In Montaigu our Trousseau vineyard is situated in the Val de Sorne gorge (on the southern slope of the village) with
south, south-easterly exposure.
The soil is composed of gravelly limestone and variegated, triassic, Keuper marls.
