Côtes du Jura AOC, Vin Jaune, Domaine Badoz, 2016

Discover the exceptional Côtes du Jura AOC, Vin Jaune, classified among the finest wines of France. This wine is exclusively crafted from the Savagnin grape, planted in the blue Jura clay. It undergoes an aging process in oak barrels for 6 years and 3 months, without compensating for the evaporation of approximately one-third of its volume. During this time, a layer of yeast forms on the surface, protecting the wine from oxidation. It is through this extended aging that it acquires its spicy aromas of nuts, almonds, and curry.

This wine showcases a great aromatic complexity, dominated by morels, fresh walnuts, and accented by curry. It achieves a beautiful balance, resulting in a full-bodied and harmonious profile.

Perfect for serving as an aperitif, it pairs beautifully with Comté and walnuts, escargots, morel crusts, creamy dishes, coq aux morilles, trout, crayfish, frogs, scallops, lobsters, strong cheeses, and even dark chocolate. Serve it at room temperature, around 16 °C, after allowing it to breathe for 2 hours. With a remarkable aging potential of 30 to 100 years, it makes an ideal gift for birth years.
