The Society's Exhibition Côtes du Jura 2020

3.181818200 star rating 11 Reviews
‘If you love dry sherry, you’ll love this’ was the verdict on our ‘shining, super salty’, bracing, bone-dry Exhibition Jura as it soared to Wine Champion status for 2026. Aged for three years under a veil of flor (yeast), it has considerable weight and nutty, spicy, yeasty character. ‘It won’t be for everyone, but it’s a real explorers’ wine,’ said one taster, and a long discussion ensued about the best food matches for it (salted almonds, Comté cheese and coq au vin, in case you’re wondering).

It’s rare to find a Jura white of this quality under £20, which makes this equal blend of Savagnin and Chardonnay is the ideal introduction to a unique style made close to France’s border with Switzerland. Best drunk with the local Comté cheese, although it’s heavenly with onion soup or a plate of wild mushrooms, it’s textured, racy and appealingly salty, reflecting the three years it spent “sous voile” (under a film of the flor yeast). Not unlike an unfortified Sherry, albeit with Alpine acidity, it reveals layers of citrus, almond and liquorice and a tapering finish.

Aged (like fino and amontillado sherry) under a veil of flor, this is a relatively affordable beginner’s guide to the uniquely yeasty-savoury unfortified sous-voile wines of the Jura, with a moreish salted grilled-nut quality that’s very good with older Comté cheese.

The Society’s first own-label Jura wine is made in the traditional oxidative fashion that has come to define the region. A blend of majority Chardonnay, aged in stainless steel, and Savagnin, aged sous voile (under veil) for 36 months, it offers scintillating nutty complexity with sleek citrus and a salty streak. A seriously distinctive, ‘talking point’ wine that’s also incredibly moreish.

Eat This, Drink That

If you buy one wine from this list make it this one. A mature, nutty Jura white that’s absolutely made for Comté.
