Lise et Bertrand Jousset ‘Menu Pineau’ 2019
€25.30
Menu Pineau is a very rare, old grape variety from the Loire. The structure is close to Savagnin and Chenin. Great fresh acidity, with a nose of fully ripe red apples. This is a rare grape, which is only produced in small amounts.
Description
Menu Pineau
The alternative name of Menu Pineau is Arbois or Orbois but confusingly has nothing to do with Jura. It has a connection with a dialect from the Loire named Orboé. Its natural habitat is Touraine, but the grape has almost been entirely replaced by Sauvignon Blanc. Fortunately, the chase for original varieties gives this ancient grape a renewed platform. It’s a bit more rustic than Chenin and in the Jousset-way the wine is refreshing and full of expressive fruits.
2019 Menu Pineau from Jousset is still a bit wild in the nose, but the flavour is full and aromatic. The finish has a great mineral structure, making it a wine suitable for oriental spices and raw seafood.
