Les Valseuses, Cargo Culte 2024

Les Valseuses is an exciting and daring négociant project in Jura and France, run by Antoine Le Court-Chedevergne and Julia Naar. The couple met in Brazil while Antoine was learning the making of both wine and beer. Based in the in the small village of Les-Planches-près-Arbois, they took over Casa Antolia around five years ago when they planted the first vines on the domaine. They found their spot by chance - by searching wine cellar Jura into Google Maps. While their vines mature, they source (and handpick) grapes from friends and like-minded growers from across France. The resultant wines are pure, wild and wonderful. Cargo Culte 2024 is 100% Grenache Blanc macerated in whole clusters for 2.5 months. Initial nose of jasmine tea, lemon soda and bergamot which opens into bright citrus, lime juice, sea salt and sour pineapple with a pronounced, slatey freshness. Cargo Culte 2024 would pair well with grilled tuna steak and dill salsa verde.
