Tasting Notes

"Powerful, lively and spicy with concentrated tangy citrus and pear fruit with some saline notes and tangy apple and lemon on the finish. Lovely intensity here with some crystalline citrus fruit."

94 points - Jaime Goode, Wine Anorak, July 2022 

"This is not your everyday chardonnay! In the Jura region of east-central France in the lower foothills of the Alps, there is tradition of oxidative winemaking, some under a layer of flor, as occurs in some Spanish sherry. As a result of the advance maturation this pours medium gold. The nose is dominated by classic hazelnut, honey, barley sugar sourdough and anise, around the ripe tropical fruit. It is medium weight, very smooth, well balanced and focused, with excellent length. More lithe lemon notes enliven the finish. There is a touch of tannin."

93 points - David Lawrason, WineAlign, December 2022

The Producer

Domaine Baud

Located in the heart of Château-Chalon AOC in Jura, Domaine Baud started with only 4 hectares; the vineyard progressively expanded to 20 hectares with the help of successive generations. The estate's history dates back to 1742, but it wasn't until 1950 when René Baud, the 7th generation, rebuilt the vineyard, which had suffered from the phylloxera crisis and two World Wars. Now in the 9th generation, Clémentine and Bastien Baud have taken the reins to continue making beautifully expressive wines. The winery is certified ‘Terra Vitis’ for its practice in sustainable agriculture.
