Offering greater density, structure, and tension than Michel’s classic trio, its blacker-tinged fruit is wed to its tannins in a manner that will benefit from a bit of cellaring patience. But its spirit and sense of unbridled energy remains thoroughly Gahier.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Gahier family has been resident in the Jura since 1525. The family domaine is 6.5 hectares with the vineyards concentrated in the village of Montigny-les-Arsures, the place recognized as the home of Trousseau. Michel Gahier has learned from the best, as neighbor and friend of Jacques Puffeney. His observations and ongoing dialogue with Puffeney have instilled skills and sensibility that produce undeniably outstanding wines that clearly express the very particular terroir of this corner of the Jura.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"has-sage-color has-text-color\"\u003eGahier harvests and vinifies his wines parcel by parcel.

The Vin Jaune is a testament to the old traditions of the Jura, and many of Gahier’s Vin Jaune barrels are a century old, acquired from Jacques Puffeney’s cellar after his retirement. The same “yeast mother” living in these barrels that nurtured Puffeney’s wine for so many years is now safely ensconced at chez Gahier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"has-sage-color has-text-color\"\u003eGahier’s home base of Montigny-lès-Arsures is known charmingly as “The Capital of Trousseau,” and may well produce the most thrilling, layered, and dynamic renderings of the grape variety in the entire Arbois appellation. Gahier’s viticulture is organic; the reds are destemmed; the yields are quite low (averaging 30 hectoliters per hectare). There is a period of cold maceration followed by a cuvaison of approximately one month with some pigeage done in the initial parts of the process. The wines, both white and red, are bottled without filtration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rosenthal\/Rare\/Élevage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50913853145394,"sku":null,"price":76.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0754\/3206\/7378\/files\/Untitled-2_1bb168a3-3e39-4c2f-939b-0c8b4d855985.webp?v=1771728447","url":"https:\/\/slakesf.com\/products\/michel-gahier-la-vigne-de-mademoiselle-d-2023-trousseau-noir-arbois","provider":"SLAKE San Francisco Bottle \u0026 Sundry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
