2022 The Eyrie Vineyards Trousseau, Dundee Hills, Oregon, USA
ABOUT THIS WINE
Trousseau is an ancient variety, originating in France’s Jura region and centered in the hillside village of Montigny-les-Arsures. In 2012, inspired by these wines, Jason Lett planted the Willamette Valley’s first Trousseau.
The Trousseau is made from estate-grown, no-till organic grapes and transformed to
juice by wild yeast. It aged in neutral oak puncheons for 10 months. Jason strives to make a Trousseau that’s the truest expression of the fruit. That’s why he's chosen to not fine or filter this wine, and to bottle it with moderate levels of sulfur.
