Tasting Notes
In the case of Goypieron, the Ploussard (or Poulsard) is more structured or less giving as a young wine than it’s Jura kin, Trousseau. Just compare our ‘enjoy now’ thoughts on the same 2019 vintage of the Goypieron Trousseau. Simply, this Poulsard is best cellared till at least 2022; but if you can’t wait, decant it for a few hours (and then some) to let those edgy herbal notes blend with the air and fruit. Likely you will then find elegant raspberry fruit blended with herbal and pepper notes. Add the fine chalky tannins and you have found this true complex wine. 12.5% alc. It just gets better. - Michael L
Eric Goypieron is a bit of a rule-breaker. His Jura wines are produced under the "Vin de France" designation as he finds even the Jura appellation too conformative.
That said, Eric's "Vin de France" Chardonnay, Savagnin, Poulsard and Trousseau are a great starting place for anyone curious about the Jurassic World: in some of the cuvées the oxidative style is somewhat refined, and vinification in tank sees a freshness across the un-veiled range, introducing you conservatively but intimately with the varietals of the region. Even his Macvins (the fortified wines of the Jura) are produced from single varietals, rather than the trend of fortifying a blend.
Learning the craft from famed Jurassiens Jacques Puffernay and friend Michel Gahier, Eric farms organically with a respect for the land; his wines are made without additions or preservatives. As the salty, tart style of the Jura lends itself, Eric's wines are best enjoyed with good food and even better company.
