Michel Gahier, Arbois Rouge Trousseau Grands Vergers, 2023

Grands Vergers features Gahier's oldest Trousseau vines, planted in the 1940s on a gentle sun-facing slope contiguous with Puffeney's legendary Bérangers. Each vintage, it stands as the clear star among Michel's reds, showing remarkable concentration, profound minerality, and tight-grained savory structure. The wine evolves beautifully in bottle over decades. This represents the apex of Trousseau expression from Montigny-les-Arsures, where the family has maintained vineyards since 1525.
