Returns Simplified.Branger is a single-vineyard Trousseau sourced from Domaine du Plicans organically and biodynamically farmed parcel in Montigny-ls-Arsuresthe Jura village widely regarded as Trousseaus historical stronghold. The soils here are composed of marl and limestone, perfectly suited to this sensitive, low-yielding grape. In 2023, cooler conditions preserved the grapes hallmark freshness and aromatic lift.
The fruit is hand-harvested, with partial whole-cluster fermentation using indigenous yeasts. Vinification is gentle to maintain Trousseaus light body and aromatic clarity. The wine is then aged for several months in neutral oak barrels and large foudres to integrate without adding weight. Aromatically, it leans into red fruits, crushed herbs, and subtle spice; on the palate, it is supple and bright, with a core of vibrant acidity and a long, mineral-inflected finish. Best enjoyed slightly chilled, this wine pairs beautifully with roast poultry, grilled trout, herbed sausages, or Jura cheeses like Morbier and Tomme.
Domaine du Plican was founded in 2012 by Guillaume dAngerville, renowned proprietor of Burgundys Domaine Marquis dAngerville, who recognized the Juras immense potential for site-expressive wines. Working alongside Franois Duvivier, the team built the estate from the ground up, acquiring prime parcels around Arbois and converting them immediately to certified organic and biodynamic farming.
From Chardonnay and Savagnin to Poulsard and Trousseau, Plicans wines reflect a precise, restrained aesthetic influenced by Burgundian craftsmanship but deeply rooted in Jura identity. The domaine avoids excessive extraction and new oak, aiming for purity, transparency, and vibrancy. Branger Trousseau is a standout exampletransforming a sometimes rustic varietal into a fine-tuned, high-toned red that speaks fluently of both grape and place.
