Domaine Baud, Côtes du Jura Vin Jaune, Jura, France, 2010

Full gold in colour, with a creamy, lemony aroma in which bready aldehyde notes are more apparent than is usual. There’s a typical Côtes du Jura acidic nerviness to this Vin Jaune, and an almost saline edge; you might also recall bread and seaweed. The palate finishes with unexpected warmth and richness, and some apricot notes. Concentrated and complex.
