WTN: 2006 Tissot Trousseau Singulier Arbois

2006 Domaine Andre et Mireille Tissot Trousseau Singulier Jura Arbois 13.0%
Not particularly impressive aromas - just some sour cherry with a hint of spices - don't prepare for the terrific mouth feel - vibrant acidity, grippy tannins, tangible weight, and a finish that harmoniously mixes light bitterness with a hint of sweetness. With food, the cherry becomes darker, and the bass/drums/guitar combo of coffee, cinnamon and cloves come to the stage and start swinging. More powerful and impressive than yesterday's Bornard Trousseau, this felt complete, the sort of wine that makes me love this grape. Very satisfying on every level, sensual, intellectual, hormonal...

Sounds exciting. Trousseau is the grape variety?

Yup, Trousseau and Poulsard are the two lovely red grapes that the Jura have to give us.
