Lucien Aviet & Fils Arbois Le Caveau de Bacchus, Trousseau Cuvee des Geologues, 2018
Lucien Aviet & Fils Arbois Le Caveau de Bacchus, Trousseau Cuvee des Geologues, 2018 is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
The cuvee is named for the geologists who helped Lucien Aviet work out which grape belonged in which patch of Arbois marl when he started out in the 1960s, and the estate is named for Lucien himself, whom friends called Bacchus. Six hectares in Montigny-les-Arsures, the village generally accepted as the capital of Trousseau, farmed sustainably and vinified the old way: indigenous yeasts, aging in large old wooden casks rather than barriques, bottles sealed with wax. Trousseau is the Jura's spicy, translucent red, closer in weight to Poulsard or a light Cote de Nuits than to anything from the Rhone, and Aviet's version is the reference point for how it should taste. The warm, dry 2018 vintage gave unusually generous fruit here without costing the wine its lift. Lucien died in 2021 after more than fifty years at it; his son Vincent, who joined in 1999, and grandson Maxence carry it on. Serve it with a slight chill.
