Cuvée Tradition Arbois Poulsard
Arbois, Jura, France
Sales Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant
Served chilled. One note of fruity-fruit at first, but then an inky, floral bouquet emerged. A slight hint of oxidation, but overall just super-pleasant.

Very pleasant oxidative quality (with enough acidity on the back end) that is an excellent match for richer chicken or fish dishes and remoulade

Fascinating. Funky. Weird. Fruity but has a forward medicinal/herbal taste. Like a ricola cough drop. Long finish. Light yellow color doesn’t reflect the rich unusual taste. Still nicely balanced. Not sure I would buy more than a couple of bottles but would definitely buy again.

Effervescence upon opening. Good minerality. Lime? Cranberry. Very refreshing. More, please.

Not poulsard! 40% sauvignon under film and 60% normal chardonnay, blended and aged for another 2 years. Bought from wine maker in Arbois for 12 euros. Oxidative, cloudy, acidity structure... slight keens curry taste. Lots of citrus. "Ballsy ass white wine" - Cameron. I enjoyed more after cheese & meat
