2023 Domaine de Saint Pierre 'Petit Curoulet' Ploussard

It has the ripeness and rusticity of the reds but with the balance and elegance that only Fabrice Dodane and very few others are able to imprint on the wines in difficult vintages like this one. It has a contained 11% alcohol with the wild berry and herbal aromas of the variety, rose hip and hibiscus, watermelon and translucent red fruit. It's medium-bodied, with mellow acidity and very fine tannins but not lacking grip. 93 points, Luis Gutierrez, Wine Advocate.

The Jura region is one of France's smallest wine regions comprising just 2,500 hectares. Despite its size however, it has grown a steadfast reputation for the sheer quality of its wines. Fabrice Dodane, owner of Domaine de Saint Pierre is part of a small group of discerning producers, which includes Jean-Francois Ganevat, who push the boundaries, making stunning, profound and complex wines.
