2018 Arbois Pupillin Ploussard Trousseau

The 2018 Ploussard/Trousseau Arbois-Pupillin (purple wax) falters on multiple fronts. A distinctive vinegar note points to elevated volatile acidity, while pungent horse sweat aromas from Brettanomyces and a touch of mousiness further mar the wine’s potential. Even with time in the glass, no improvement is evident, which is why the 2018 is a regrettable miss. Lot: 26-09-2019. This wine has three obvious faults, leading to my score.
