2023 Damien Guadagnolo Poulsard Cote du Jura Riesling Pair with oysters

Pair with oysters

The restraint here is deliberate — and the finish rewards patience

full of passion and determination

and as little intervention as the vintage allows

family since the early 1970s but his father did commercialize his wines

2023 Damien Guadagnolo Poulsard Cote du Jura Riesling Pair with oystersPoulsard is Jura's most ethereal red grape, and in Guadagnolo's hands it sings. A proper strawberry bomb a touch reductive at first but pleasantly so, with a little stemmy lift on the nose that blows away to reveal a lithe palate of wild, sweet fruit and a long, savoury finish. Featherlight in body, zero sulfur, and utterly captivating this is the kind of wine that converts the unconvinced.
