Melon à queue rouge is a cousin of Jura Chardonnay, so full of fruit that you would forget its origin. Great work from Domaine Bornard.

Our opinion on the vintage

Domaine Bornard's 2018 Le Melon Le Rouge-Queue reveals a pure and precise profile, blending white fruits, citrus, and fine minerality. The palate, both fresh and structured, offers beautiful tension and a very elegant saline finish. A wine with character, ideal with fish, shellfish, or Jura cheeses.

Domaine Bornard

Jura | France

In the Jura region, Tony Bornard has developed a personal approach to the area's emblematic grape varieties, notably Savagnin, Trousseau, and Poulsard. Vineyard work is conducted biodynamically, with attention paid to the natural balance of the grapes and their ability to express their origin without undue constraint.

Winemaking techniques allow for significant adaptation, with aging choices varying according to the desired profiles: topped up or not topped up, use of amphorae or old barrels. These options allow for adjustments to textures and balances without homogenizing the cuvées or imposing a single style.

The wines retain a marked spontaneity, with agile textures and often direct fruit, supported by a lively energy. The entire body of work highlights the diversity and vibrancy of the Jura terroirs, in a free yet coherent approach, attentive to both precision and expression.
