This is what good wine from the Poulsard grape tastes like

The Poulsard grape grows in the French Jura and produces pale red wines there. They are soft in taste and easy to drink. In recent years, winemakers have been increasingly successful in giving Poulsard more color. However, they usually solve the color problem by blending with Pinot Noir or Trousseau.

They usually solve the color problem by blending with Pinot Noir or Trousseau. The Poulsard is a delicate plant, and the grapes have only a thin skin. It is not surprising that winemakers from other regions are not lining up to adopt this special variety.

Nor is there any need, because after a thousand years of practice, winemakers from the Jura handle it perfectly. As a result, Poulsard is and remains a curiosity that you won't easily find at the liquor store. For lovers of Pinot Noir, Poulsard is certainly highly recommended. Provided, of course, that it doesn't end up in Macvin du Jura, the local sweet liqueur wine that is sometimes also made from Poulsard.
