The Baud wines from the Jura
France is a wine country par excellence, boasting a unique array of popular wine regions. Everyone loves the Loire, Burgundy, Bordeaux, Côtes du Rhone, and even Languedoc-Roussillon. Traditionally, the Jura has been a bit of a neglected area. But don't be fooled; this region holds a special place in the hearts of wine connoisseurs. The Jura is known for its slightly oxidative wines and the renowned Vin Jaune.
Although Jura wines are nowhere near as well-known as other wine regions in France, the Baud winery is no stranger to the region. Since 1742, Domaine Baud has been producing impressive wines. This means that the 9th generation is currently at the helm, a milestone proudly displayed on the Baud Cousu Main Trousseau Cotes du Jura label.
