Located south of Pupillin, La Rouge sits between the lieux-dits of Les Charots and Chambines on a gentle slope at 345 meters elevation. Benjamin’s 0.14-hectare parcel, planted in 1970, grows on classic Triassic red marl soils rich in iron oxides—hence the name.

As with Les Chambines, this wine was vinified without oak: the grapes were manually destemmed, followed by spontaneous fermentation and aging in stainless steel. The 2023 vintage was bottled unfined and unfiltered after eight months in tank. The influence of its marl soils adds a gentle savoury edge and mineral nuance.

Reviews

"The 2023 Ploussard La Rouge comes from a generous crop of an old massal selection planted 70+ years ago on red marl soils. It comes in at 11.5% alcohol, still pale and ethereal but with some medicinal notes, and is somewhat reminiscent of plasticine and some reductive sensations. The palate is light, with less mid-palate than other Ploussards here. It was bottled in August 2024."
92 points, Luis Gutiérrez, The Wine Advocate
