Le Caveau de Bacchus is a small, quality-focused cooperative in Arbois that works closely with growers to highlight the diversity of Jura’s soils and native varieties. Cuvée des Géologues is a site-specific bottling sourced from the Marne Rouge lieu-dit, named for its distinctive red marl soils that bring structure, depth, and a savory edge to Trousseau. Farming is thoughtful and traditional, with an emphasis on preserving the character of the grape.
The 2018 vintage is expressive and layered, showing sour cherry, red currant, and wild berry fruit alongside subtle spice, earth, and a faint smoky note. The palate is fresh yet grounded, with lively acidity and fine, gently grippy tannins that give the wine length. The finish is clean and savory, reflecting the warmth of the vintage and the mineral influence of Arbois’ marl soils.
Varietal: Trousseau
Appellation: Arbois, Jura, France
Farming: Sustainably farmed; traditional practices
Style: Red. Savory, structured, and distinctly Jura
