BADOZ COTES DE JURA VIN JAUNE 2018 - white

Style: Rocks & MineralsWinemakers from father to son for 10 generations, Domaine Badoz is located in Poligny, in the heart of the Jura wine region. The estate's vineyards are primarily situated on the historic plots of "Les Roussots" and "Les Grands Roussots," composed of Triassic and Lias marl and schistous clay. These are the first foothills of the Jura Mountains, home to a long tradition of characterful wines, as well as gastronomy and conviviality. The estate has been built up over generations, and Benoît took over in 2003 with the aim of maintaining a human scale, in order to care for the vines and to have maximum control over the quality of the grapes and therefore the wines. This is why he chose to manage his vineyard according to organic certification.Thanks to his journey, which took him from Puligny-Montrachet to Château Petrus, from the United States to Australia, Benoît chooses to produce wines that respect the typicity of the terroir and the AOCs of the Jura, but also wines whose personality allows us to discover other facets of the traditional grape varieties of the region. DOMAINE BADOZThe 2018 Côtes du Jura Vin Jaune opens with intense characteristics of walnut, bruised apple and bread dough. A trace of straw adds further nuance. Full-bodied and concentrated, the bold 2018 carries ample vitality and nutty subtleties on the savory close. NICOLAS GREINACHER, VinousA classic, textbook Vin Jaune from Savagnin, aged sous voile for over six years. This sits firmly in the traditional camp, but with a nice sense of balance and lift. There’s real length and persistence here, and while already compelling, it will continue to evolve for decades. A proper gastronomic wine—crying out for Comté, morels, or anything rich and earthy.Region : Jura, FRANCEVariety : Savagnin ABV: 15%Liquor Act 2007.
