Domaine Ratte Trousseau, Les Corvées | 2022

Certified Biodynamic, Michel-Henri and Francoise Ratte grow the rare Trousseau à la Dame, a superior version of Trousseau with tiny berries and loosely knit clusters. The Corvées is a hillside site in the Arbois wine appellation with warm, red marl, Trousseau-loving soils. Aged in old Burgundy barrels, bottled un-fined and unfiltered with a small dose of sulfur, a kaleidoscope of bright red fruits will make you shiver. Sublimely silky and like feathers on the palate, it’s nearly impossible for you not to want to have the bottle all to yourself. Mostly available in Europe, we’re lucky to receive a small allocation of one of our favorite light reds. ~Allegra A
