ABOUT THIS WINE
Domaine Foret Instant Flora Trousseau 2018 is a red wine from the Arbois appellation in Jura, France, made from the Trousseau grape. The Foret family has cultivated vines in the region since 1885, with Fred Foret, an artist and sculptor, now managing the estate. The domaine practices sustainable and natural farming on soils of clay, marl, and limestone. The wine is produced with spontaneous fermentation using indigenous yeasts, no added sulfites, and is bottled unfiltered, reflecting a philosophy of capturing the grape's natural essence. The 'Instant Flora' name suggests an emphasis on the fleeting, natural expression of the wine.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process at Domaine Foret emphasizes natural methods. Grapes are hand-harvested and undergo spontaneous fermentation using indigenous yeasts. The wine is produced without the addition of sulfites or other chemicals. It is then bottled unfiltered to preserve its natural character and freshness. The domaine's philosophy centers on minimal intervention to allow the grape and terroir to express themselves fully.
