Poulsard

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Poulsard is a rare red wine from the Jura . The specialty thrives particularly well in the northern regions of the Jura. Poulsard makes a light, fragrant wine. The peel is very poor in pigments (see also the article Phenols in wine ), so that the wine often looks more like a rosé wine . Nevertheless, the wine has an aging capacity of around five to eight years. Due to its fragrant aroma, it is often used in a blend with Trousseau or Pinot Noir . In 2007 a planted vineyard area of ​​313  hectares was raised. (Source ONIVINS)

The poulsard is also sometimes called ploussard . Gastronomically, it accompanies grilled dishes, raclette , poultry dishes and sausages.

In addition to the red variety, there is also the gray (Ploussard Gris) and the white variety (Ploussard Blanc) of Ploussard. Both varieties can also be found in the Jura.
