Domaine Bénédicte et Stéphane Tissot Poulsard Vieilles Vignes 2020
🍇 Old vine Poulsard from Les Bruyères, La Mailloche, and La Vasée parcels in Arbois. Soils of clay. No added SO2.
A Poulsard with pronounced peppery notes, making it reminiscent of a cab franc. This is followed by a jovial mix of red berries, watermelon and red roses, along with a touch of tomato paste, black tea, and hay. The mouthfeel is supple, framed by ripe, dusty tannins and a bright acidity. The finish is quite beautiful here with good length, lingering on black cherry, black chocolate and recurring black tea. There is a welcome amount of purity, thanks to the absence of SO2 and quality winemaking. A very good effort, if not somewhat atypical for the variety. It does unfortunately become quite mousy on day 2, so it is advised to consume during one sitting (90).
