Domaine Benoit Badoz Cotes du Jura Blanc

Cuvée made from the blend of Chardonnay (60%) and Savagnin (40%). Undergoing three years of ageing in oak barrels in their centuries-old cellars is a necessity for the Savagnin grape variety, it allows it to obtain a very typical taste. The Chardonnay is aged in old casks before blending. The nose is overwhelmed by the typical flavours of Savagnin. Then the Chardonnay slowly makes its place. There are nuts and almonds, fruits and flowers. As for the palate, with its long finish on walnuts, it is fresh and spicy

Located in Poligny, in the heart of the Jura region, Domaine Badoz have been making wine since the 17th Century, passing down traditional winemaking techniques from father to son for over 10 generations. 

Benoit. the current winemaker, returned to his family vineyard in 2003, having previously left home in the 90's to hone his craft by working in Puligny Montrachet, Pomerol and Napa Valley in the United States. Benoit's father had set about replanting the vineyards in 1970, matching grape varietals to a suitable soil type with the aim of producing premium-quality wines made from varietals native to the Jura region. Benoit has certainly risen to the challenge by producing wines of outstanding quality, winning recognition from his peers for his 2009 'Les Roussots' Trousseau.
