History Poulsard or ploussard, a red berried grape, is a typical vine that has grown in the Jura range since the 15th century.
Characteristics of the wine obtained from this grape variety Thin skins and pale coloring are the most obvious traits of Poulsard, while delicate perfumes are a lesser-known quality. Red wines produced from Poulsard may be so lacking in color that they are mistaken as rosé, and indeed white wine (Blanc de Noir) can be made from it by limiting skin contact.
Notes This grape is characterized by a very fine skin with poor chromatic power. It is currently the second most common variety in Jura representing about 20% of the vineyard area.
