The 2019 Domaine des Carlines Côtes du Jura En Lya is a distinctive Jura white wine that showcases the region’s unique character and strong sense of place. Produced from vineyards in the Côtes du Jura appellation, this wine combines freshness, texture and mineral complexity, reflecting the traditional winemaking heritage and limestone-rich soils that define the Jura.
The nose is expressive and layered, revealing aromas of lemon zest, green apple and ripe pear alongside notes of white flowers, almonds and subtle savoury nuances. On the palate, it is beautifully textured with bright acidity, a mineral backbone and flavours of citrus, orchard fruit and gentle nuttiness. The finish is long, fresh and persistent, offering both complexity and precision.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for adventurous wine lovers looking to explore the distinctive wines of the Jura. Its balance of freshness and savoury complexity makes it a versatile food wine. Pair with Comté cheese, roast chicken, freshwater fish, creamy mushroom dishes or poultry in cream sauce. Enjoy now for its developed character or over the next 5–8 years as additional complexity emerges.
