Côtes du Jura Vin Jaune Jean Bourdy 1989
The wine
This vin jaune, which should be left to age a little, produced by a biodynamic domain unfurls a fine golden hue. It exudes intense notes of baked apples, spices such as nutmeg, curry or saffron and even aromatic herbs. Its equally intense palate is nevertheless enhanced by fine minerality. This is therefore a very fine and timeless wine, suitable for pairing with spicy meals or autumn dishes.
About the Producer Jean Bourdy
Situated in Arlay, in the Jura, the Domaine Jean-Bourdy was created some time between 1475 and 1500. The Boudy name is synonymous with the oldest winemaking families in France: the current owners are 15th generation direct descendants. The vineyard spans 10 hectares in the Côtes-du-Jura and Château-Chalon appellations. Given over to biodynamic farming (Demeter certification since 2010), the domain only uses oak aged between three and four years to age its wines and only seven year old oak for its vins jaunes.
