Arbois, Les Canons du Jean 'Le Rouge' Pinot/Ploussard, Julien Crinquand, 2023

£55.00

2023 is one of the best red vintages in years, making this “house” blend an absolute joy. The Poulsard, in particular, has never been this dark and concentrated. This wine is a perfect love letter to the Jura—cherry juice and smoky character, with just the right touch of herbal notes. It’s expressive, inviting, and impossible to resist.
