#154 Poulsard

Poulsard (also Ploussard) is a red wine grape variety from the Jura wine region in France. The name Ploussard is used mainly around the town of Pupillin. Poulsard is also grown in Bugey.

This particular bottle may have been faulty but I will report as best as I can. It looks like a rose' although the appearance is a bit dusty, smells a bit like a rose with acidic overtones and has a powerful astringency on the palate. These wines are meant to be consumed well chilled by the summer following the vintage (in this case I am 3 months late).
