Arbois Poulsard: Light and Fruity Red Wines of Jura

Discover Arbois Poulsard

The Arbois Poulsard appellation, a hallmark of the Jura region, celebrates a unique and typically Jura grape variety: the Poulsard, also called Ploussard in some villages. This thin-skinned grape produces light red wines with almost translucent ruby pale color, yet notable aromatic expressiveness. Arbois Poulsard wines are known for their ruby pale color with orange highlights and an intense bouquet of red berries such as wild strawberry, currant, and cherry, accompanied by floral and spicy notes.

Terroir and Characteristics

The Arbois appellation, the first French AOC established in 1936, is based on a terroir of marls and red clay soils that gives Poulsard grapes their remarkable typicity. The climate is temperate with continental influences, promoting fine ripening and elegant fruitiness. The Poulsard grape is renowned for its finesse and its ability to reflect the terroir authentically.
