Violette is Courbet's red, 100% Trousseau, the Jura's perfumed, light-bodied indigenous grape. The fruit comes from younger vines on clay-limestone, vinified for freshness and lift rather than weight. The Courbet family has farmed near Chateau-Chalon since 1869 and works biodynamically, run today by Jean-Marie and Damien. This is a pale, fragrant, savory red in the Jura mold, the kind of wine that drinks like a delicate Pinot with extra spice. The 2023 wants a slight chill. Pair it with poultry or charcuterie.
