Overnoy-Crinquand's Ploussard, from 25- to 60-year old vines in Pupillin, pours a pale orange-tinged ruby, but offers surprisingly meaty depth and firm minerality. Pupillin is recognized as the spiritual home of the Poulsard grape, as the stony, iron-rich lime-clay soils of the village express the cultivar's curious and compelling character. The light color of this wine reflects the grey-rose blush to the skin of the grape which then leads to a surprisingly tannic texture; a rough, "sauvage", lively wine with a big personality.
