Domaine Ligier Arbois Poulsard 2023

Located in the picturesque hills just north of Revermont in the heart of the Jura, Domaine Ligier currently farms ten hectares, eight of which are in the prized Arbois AOP in the communes of Arbois and Villette les Arbois. All of the vineyards sit on hillsides, with soils that are a combination of different marls, Triassic clay, and calcareous scree. Owner Hervé Ligier and winemaker Mari-Colette Vandelle team to produce an array of great values from the traditional varieties Chardonnay, Savagnin, Pinot Noir, Poulsard, and Trousseau.  From vibrant crémants, mineral driven whites, spicy reds, to the local specialty Vin Jaune, their range is a perfect tour of the gastronomic uniqueness the Jura has to offer.  

100% Savagnin from a blue and white marne soil, made in the topped-up style on its lees in foudre, in order to preserve its freshness and minerality. 
A perfect example of the more modern topped up style in the Jura, and how that style can showcase the varietal and regional character of the grape. Its round, slightly nutty flavors of ripe apple and citrus fruit are given a jolt of electricity by the natural acidity and minerality.
