Badoz Trousseau Les Roussots comes exclusively from 32-year-old vines in this prime site in Poligny. Trousseau is late to bud and develops a back-purple color as it ripens. The soil is gravel mixed with red clay and grey-marne over a base of limestone. Grass is planted in every 2nd row while the others are plowed. The grapes are hand-picked, transferred to the winery in small plastic crates, sorted on a sorting table, and de-stemmed. The fruit is given 4 days of pre-fermentation cold maceration at 8 degrees centigrade. The alcoholic fermentation begins with only native yeasts. It lasts for 2 weeks in wide 50 hectoliter tanks with occasional pumping-over of the juice over the cap of grape skins. The Trousseau completes its malolactic fermentation in tank and is bottled in June. ,t has a supple texture, medium dark color and body, and bright favors of blue-plums, dark cherries with notes of pepper and minerals.

Classifed among the greatest wines of France, the Vin Jaune is exclusively made from the Savagnin grape variety. Planted on Jurassian blue clays, its aging in oak barrels is 6 years and 3 months, without compensating for the evaporation share of about one third of the volume. A veil of yeast is formed on the surface of the wine, and protects it from any oxidation. It is during this long aging that it acquires its spicy aromas of nuts, almonds or curry.
