"This Vin Jaune is a real Gem !
"Benoît Badoz likes to point out that vin jaune is a "vin de voile", a name derived from the famous yeast veil that protects it from oxidation. As a result, once opened, it can be kept for several days without deterioration, and you can then return, as here, to its scents of dried fruit, marzipan and apple pie, delicately punctuated by peppery notes. Then there's an "old-fashioned" mouthfeel, as one taster put it, in the best sense of the word, with more dried fruit and a lovely lemony base." (Le Guide Hachette 2026)

About the domain :
He represents the tenth generation of Badoz at Poligny. Trained at the Lycée Viticole de Beaune, he returned to the domaine in 2003 and inaugurated the winery in 2004. It took some time to go organic, but certification was obtained in 2019. The domaine's vineyards are located in the Roussots and Grands Roussots districts. Half of the estate is planted with Savagnin, which doesn't mean you have to neglect the reds. On some cuvées, he takes barrel ageing a step further.
