Frédéric Lornet 2022 – Arbois Poulsard

One of our first wines from the lesser known Jura region in France, this is a beautiful wine. Its seriousness takes you by surprise, but keeps a reassuring hold of you as you make your way through the glass. Red berries balanced perfectly with quintessential French funk, this red wine is special yet easy, our favorite combo! Best served with a slight chill, it pairs easily with meals due to its high acidity and low tannin.

The Lornet Family has been for several generations both winemaker and cooper, affording them the unique ability to be completely hands-on throughout the entire process. A cooper specializes in building and maintaining oak barrels, carefully shaping and toasting the oak to enhance the aging process and flavor of the wine -- now they have the inside scoop on which are the best barrels to select for each wine!
