Les Valseuses, Accordion 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. Accordion 2024 is a blend of Grenache Noir, Ugni Blanc and Grenache Blanc macerated in whole bunches. Bright and zippy with energetic notes of grapefruit peel, sea salt and fresh red berries are blanched by an earthiness reminiscent of wet clay. Accordion 2024 would pair well with Basque-style salt cod and chickpea stew.
