Limited edition 2017 Cuvée des Fêtes Pinot Noir vintage is a celebration in French winemaking

New Rochelle, NY – December 7th, 2018 – Tussock Jumper Wines is pleased to announce their newest vintage release, Cuvée des Fêtes 2017 Pinot Noir blend ($12.99) from France, just in time for the holidays. 

Now available through Tri-Vin Imports, this limited edition 2017 vintage was sourced using 100% Pinot Noir grapes grown in three distinctly different regions of France. The first, at high altitude vineyards in the South of France. The second small amount was curated from vineyards located in Central France, and the third from a small vineyard in eastern Jura, one of France’s most obscure wine regions. In blending this way, the finished product showcases a reflection of the terroir and weather of each region, as well as the delicate beauty of the Pinot Noir grape, creating a lively, pleasant to drink wine that will pair easily with holiday dishes.  

Dark ruby in color, the Tussock Jumper Cuvée des Fêtes 2017 Pinot Noir vintage reflects the ‘fruits of the forest floor’, with both old and new vines incorporated into the blend. The wine is delicate, yet complex, with aromas of dark fruits, spice, and light oak. On the palate, crushed dark berries, ripe plums, and cherry jam are present, with balanced tannins and a long finish. Pair this wine as an aperitif with hors d’oeuvres, roasted poultry dishes, desserts like black forest cake, and chocolate cookies. 

Previous vintage awards include: 

  • Gold Medal Best Value Vin de France Selection 2013
  • Silver Medal Best Value Vin de France Selection 2016
  • Gold Medal China Wine & Spirits Awards 2016
  • Gold Medal China Wine & Spirits Awards 2017
