The bottled 2022 Trousseau Singulier was harvested a little later and also destemmed by hand, pressed and put into 600-liter barrels, but unlike Poulsard that likes cold, Trousseau likes heat. Sixty percent of the volume was in open-top tanks with one month of maceration, and the rest was in closed tanks with a maceration of three months. This is earthier, toasty and with notes of dry hay and straw, reflecting a warm vintage with dry tannins. It finishes with some hardness that gives it rusticity.

SOIL TYPE 7 acres in 5 different plots named “Rosières”, “Béranger”, “en muzard”, “Corvées sous Curon” & “Chevrette”. South-West facing parcels made of limestone rock slide from the Bajocien era covering a clay subsoil.
