Description
Cuvée Flor 2020 from Domaine Baud is a beautifully expressive white wine from the Côtes du Jura, a region celebrated for its singular winemaking traditions and terroir-driven styles. Crafted by a family estate with deep roots in the Jura, this cuvée reflects both authenticity and finesse, balancing freshness with subtle complexity.
The nose is aromatic and layered, opening with aromas of green apple, pear, and citrus peel, followed by hints of white flowers and fresh herbs. As it develops, more distinctive Jura character emerges—light almond, hazelnut, and a gentle savoury note that hints at controlled oxidative ageing, adding depth without overwhelming the fruit.
On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with a supple, textured mouthfeel. There is a vibrant line of acidity that brings energy and definition, carrying flavours of orchard fruit, lemon zest, and a subtle nuttiness. A delicate saline and mineral edge runs through the wine, reflecting the limestone and marl soils of the region. The finish is clean, persistent, and lightly savoury, with a pleasing interplay of freshness and complexity.
Cuvée Flor 2020 is a versatile and food-friendly Jura white, pairing beautifully with roasted poultry, creamy cheeses, mushroom dishes, or even lightly spiced cuisine. It offers both immediate enjoyment and short- to mid-term ageing potential, gaining further complexity over time. A distinctive and engaging wine that captures the unique identity of Jura winemaking in a precise, approachable style.
