2023 Les Valseuses "Ai du"

Ai du VDF Rouge is a fascinating, light red wine from Les Valseuses, a natural winemaking project based in Angers but specializing in unique expressions from across France. This cuvée highlights the rare, indigenous Poulsard grape, typically found only in the Jura region. The winemakers employ natural vinification methods—relying on indigenous yeasts and minimal intervention—to capture the grape's delicate and distinct character. The result is a light, ethereal red that is highly characterful, possessing the typical pale colour and rustic structure associated with Poulsard. This wine embraces freshness and purity, delivering a unique and profoundly terroir-driven experience that is best served chilled.

Aroma & Palate | A light, characterful red with a distinctly ethereal quality. Expected notes include bright red berry fruits, such as cranberry and tart cherry, alongside savoury, earthy undertones, and subtle spice. Despite its light body, the wine is structured and highly focused, with refreshing acidity typical of the Poulsard grape, making it supremely food-friendly.
