"The 2013 Arbois Trousseau CuvĂ©e les BĂ©rangĂšres is named after the place where the grapes are grown. Very floral with intense aromas of white flowers and more cherries, it has very good freshness, is very pleasant and easy to drink. The wine is medium-bodied with very fine tannins, and the acidity and tannins go together feeling very integrated and making it very drinkable. Itâs hard to spit this one out. I also tasted 2003, a famously warm vintage that feels surprisingly fresh. The nose is quite developed and more tertiary, with aromas of spices and cured meat, and a seamless, silky palate with very good acidity. Puffeney prefers a warm vintage, as heâs in a mountain, and feels his vineyards behave better in warmer vintages. 4,500 bottles. I visited Jacques Puffeney in his house/winery in Montigny les Arsures (the village that calls itself the world capital of Trousseau), after his official retirement. All of the vineyards are around Montagny and Arbois, where the house is located. 2014 was his last vintage and he officially retired on January 1st 2015, but he will continue raising the wines until the 2014 Vin Jaune is released around 2020. He sold the vineyards to Marquis d'Angerville for his Domaine du Pelican project in the Jura, but Puffeney has kept a small plot and will continue doing a little bit of wine for himself, from red Trousseau grapes. All Savagnin is aged for longer or shorter under a veil of yeasts, so all wines that have Savagnin in them have the oxidative/biological character of the 'flor' -- lighter or stronger depending on how long the Ă©levage was. The maximum is the Vin Jaune, which often stays for much longer than required in cask. His first vintage was 1962 and the last one was 2014, after 52 harvests. It's sad to see such an influential figure disappear. My guess is that his wines will go up in price as they'll become more and more scarce. Buy what you can."
