With the rise of unique, often lesser-known wines, Jura wines are also becoming increasingly conventional. But be warned: these are exceptional wines with their own unique character. Our oenologists don't call the Jura the Sherry of France for nothing. Jura wines are known for their oxidative character and are often produced using the same method you find in Jerez. By only partially filling the wooden barrel, a layer of yeast cells forms on the wine: the Flor. This is a term we also find in Sherry wines.
Domaine Baud is currently one of the most renowned wineries in the Jura. Their wines, despite their distinctive character, captivate our oenologists. This is largely due to the winery's impressive and rich history. Founded in the mid-18th century, the estate has been run by no fewer than nine generations.
The typical winemaking method, with its iconic flor layer, clearly influences the wine. It draws on the fruity character of Baud Deux Grains de Paradis Cotes du Jura and imparts an almost savory character. Prepare your taste buds for roasted nuts and almonds. A subtle note of baked apple and soft lemon remains prominent.
