Domaine Baud 'Jewels from the Jura' Mixed Case

This is a pre-order: Place your order before June 9th and receive your case of wine in August, 2024.

--

Domaine Baud estate dates back to 1742, today the 9th generation manages the winery. Siblings Clementine and Bastien, both under 30, are making some of the best-value wines in the area. Jura is that narrow valley in the remote hills between Burgundy and Switzerland, which millions of years ago was covered by an Ocean and today still bares many of the fossils from that time. If you kick a stone in a Jura vineyard, it will probably be a fossil!

Discover the different expressions of Jura with this Mixed Case. The mixed case includes 1 bottle of each wine.

1 bottle x Domaine Baud Blanc de Blanc Crémant du Jura Brut NV (Jura, France)
Sparkling | Chardonnay

92 points by Wine Align

This sparkler, or Crémant, is made in the traditional Champagne style, where the second fermentation happens inside the bottle. Expect rich aromatics of apple fruit with citrus, toasted brioche and a striking minerality. It sparks a great balance between creaminess and vivacity.  If you like Champagne, but not the price tag, then this is the wine of choice for you.

Pairing suggestion: It is very versatile at the table and you can drink this with almost any dish: try it with all types of classic cuisine or even spicy Asian dishes.

1 bottle x Domaine Baud Crémant du Jura Brut Rosé NV  (Jura, France)
Sparkling | Pinot Noir

Made from 100% Pinot Noir, this delicate sparkling wine was made using méthode champenoise and was aged 12 months on the lees. Light pink in colour with persistent bubbles, in the glass it expresses notes of strawberry wafers, red currants, and blood orange. On the palate, it has fine bubbles and freshness.

Enjoy it as an aperitif or have it with pastries and desserts.

1 bottle x Domaine Baud 'Deux Grains de Paradis' Côtes du Jura AOC 2020 (Jura, France)
White | Chardonnay, Savagnin

A truly Jura experience. This is a blend of Savagnin and Chardonnay aged in barrel for 3 years. The Savagnin, as is traditional in jura is aged under flor in barrel where it gathers a slight oxidize quality, similar to Sherry while the chardonnay is made typical fashion. These wines are then blended together and the result is truly fascinating. Roasted apples, baked nuts, candied lemons with a sherry like nose but with a full and fresh Chardonnay/Savagnin palate. Long, beautiful and delicious.

Pairing suggestion: Beautiful when paired with fish and seafood; as well as with cheeses such as comté cheese.

1 bottle x Domaine Baud 'Les Premices' Côtes du Jura AOC 2022 (Jura, France)
White | Chardonnay

Silky and full bodied, this oak-aged Chardonnay exhibits classics notes of apples, white flowers and citrus. Grown on marl-limestone soils from the Triassic period, it is a balanced wine on the palate, with a distinctive complexity.

1 bottle x Domaine Baud 'Rouge Ancestral' Côtes du Jura AOC 2022 (Jura, France)
Red | Pinot Noir, Trousseau

A delicious blend of 70% Trousseau and 30% Pinot Noir, this cuvée is named “Ancestral” because it is made from Baud's oldest plots of red grapes planted by Clementine and Bastien's grandfather. This light and whimsical red wine has aromas of leather and concentrated notes of morello cherry and wild strawberries. The tannins are soft, silky, and elegant. Extra sensation with a light chill. 

Pairing suggestion: enjoy it on its own, or serve with red meats such as game and venison.
