Trousseau Messagelin 2020

Trousseau Messagelin 2020 by Etienne Thibault, of Domaine Des Cavarodes, is a red wine made in Arbois, Jura. Earthy, complex, light, perfect.

For sure still a strong hype producer from the Jura region, dreadlocked Etienne Thiebaud deserves all the credit he gets. Notoriously shy and obsessed with a dedication in the vineyard, farming by horse and seemingly not interested in many modern aspects of life - this producer really is all about the wine and not the fame.

His wines are ones which are always a solid bet in the cool wine bars, rarely letting you down and often with a wonderful, precise balance between minerality, energy and depth.
