Côtes du Jura Trousseau 2022 Benoit Badoz
The Côtes du Jura Trousseau 2022 from Benoit Badoz is a fascinating interpretation of one of the Jura’s most emblematic indigenous grape varieties. Located in Poligny, in the heart of the Jura wine region, Domaine Benoit Badoz represents one of the most respected family estates of the area, combining centuries of tradition with a modern and precise vision of winemaking.
Benoit Badoz is the tenth generation of his family dedicated to the land. After taking over the family estate in 2003, he brought with him valuable international experience gained at prestigious wineries including Domaine Louis Carillon in Puligny-Montrachet, Pétrus in Pomerol and in Napa Valley. His approach focuses on expressing the unique identity of Jura’s terroirs through wines that are pure, elegant and deeply connected to their origin.
The Trousseau grape is one of the Jura’s signature varieties, alongside Poulsard. It naturally offers more structure and darker fruit character than Poulsard, while preserving the freshness and delicate personality that define the region’s wines. Benoit Badoz’s interpretation perfectly captures this balance between intensity and finesse.
On the nose, the Côtes du Jura Trousseau 2022 reveals aromas of summer berries, cherries and darker fruits, complemented by floral hints, subtle spices and an elegant earthy character. The palate is vibrant and refined, showing silky tannins, fresh acidity and a persistent finish that highlights the wine’s mineral identity.
A wine often described as combining the structure of Pinot Noir with the fruit-driven character of Cabernet Franc, yet remaining unmistakably Jura in style. Benoit Badoz’s reputation was confirmed when his 2009 Trousseau became the first Jura red wine to receive the prestigious “Réussite Exceptionnelle” distinction from La Revue du Vin de France.
A unique and expressive red wine, perfect for enthusiasts looking for authentic terroir-driven wines with personality and ageing potential.
Food pairings: excellent with roasted poultry, charcuterie, mushrooms, regional dishes and mature Jura cheeses.
Highlights: 100% Jura Trousseau, historic family domaine, authentic terroir expression, elegant structure and vibrant freshness.
