Red · Jura, France · 2022
Domaine de la Tournelle
Wild strawberry · iron · cracked pepper
A pale, almost translucent red that drinks colder than you'd expect. Wild strawberry and iron on the nose; a long, peppery finish. The Jura's case for being a great red region, made in a single glass.
About the producer
Évelyne and Pascal have been working biodynamically since the nineties. This is their domaine-level Trousseau — the entry point and, for most nights, the best value on the list.
The kitchen suggests
Romney Marsh lamb belly, twice-cooked and lacquered with our own harissa, mint yogurt to cool it down.
Hand-chopped sirloin from the same Romney butcher, with smoked rapeseed oil, capers, shallot, mustard, and grilled sourdough.
