It is a grape grown for a long time in the vineyards of the district of Poligny in the Jura and Doubs around Besancon. Based on genetic analyzes in Montpellier (Hérault), it is probably a descendant of Savagnin blanc.

It is part of vine appellations Arbois, Arbois-Pupillin, Côtes du Jura, Crémant du Jura and Macvin du Jura.

It gives wines of a beautiful deep purple color, typed, warm, full-bodied, structured and well aging, with the presence of anthocyanins diglucosides. Trousseau wine deserves to be assembled with Poulsard, the latter bringing finesse while the first improves conservation.
