Domaine de la Borde 2022 Ploussard Red Wine – Jura Cote de Feule

Domaine de la Borde’s 2022 Ploussard “Côte de Feule” offers a vibrant taste of Jura’s terroir, crafted with meticulous care for both tradition and sustainability. Hailing from Arbois-Pupillin, this red wine is born on a sun-drenched south-facing slope at 300 meters elevation, where deep gray marl soils impart distinct mineral complexity. Perfect for wine lovers seeking bold yet approachable reds, this bottle combines rustic charm with modern biodynamic practices.

Every step of its creation reflects artisanal precision: grapes are hand-harvested and destemmed by hand to preserve their delicate character. A 12-day maceration period—starting with two days of pre-fermentation—uses only wild yeasts and zero added sulfites, ensuring a pure expression of the vineyard’s essence. The wine then matures for 10 months in large 1,300-liter oak barrels, softening tannins while amplifying its fruity and earthy notes.

With 12.5% alcohol by volume, this Ploussard balances light-bodied elegance with rich flavors of wild cherry, spice, and a hint of forest floor. Ideal for pairing with charcuterie, roasted game, or hearty vegetarian dishes, it appeals to those valuing ethically produced wines made without synthetic additives.

Domaine de la Borde’s commitment to biodynamic farming shines through in every sip, offering a transparent alternative to conventionally produced wines. Whether you’re exploring Jura’s unique varietals or seeking minimally interventionist wines, this bottle stands out for its authenticity and connection to sustainable viticulture.
