Julien Crinquand - Les Canons du Jean, 'Le Coup de Plou' Ploussard 2023

£54.50

A joyful and ultra-drinkable Ploussard from Julien Crinquand. Le Coup de Plou is feather-light yet expressive, with notes of tart red berries, rose petal, and a touch of dried herbs. The palate is juicy and vibrant, with soft tannins and a refreshing, lightly savoury finish. Unfined, unfiltered, and made with minimal SO₂ — it’s a pure glou-glou Jura red best served chilled and shared with friends.
