Aroma
A classic style of the Jura, with notes of walnuts an hazelnuts combined with fresh morel mushrooms, and enhanced by spice.
Palate
The palate is at once rich, harmonious and nutty with a persistent finish.
Vinification
The hand-harvested savagnin for the typé is spontaneously fermented in
stainless steel vats, then aged for 3 years in oak barrels in the Domaine
Badoz centuries-old cellars, without topping up. Natural evaporation occurs,
reducing the production by around a third. Originally destined (potentially)
for Vin Jaune, a selection of barrels is made and the aging halted, to create
this wine.
Food Matching
It is a perfect accompaniment (and indeed ingredient) for local specialties
such as ‘Chicken with Vin Jaune’, Comté cheese or white meats including
pork, veal and sweetbreads.
