Our Review of the Cuvée
On the nose, this Savagnin charms with its delicate aromas of hazelnuts and almonds, enveloped in hints of grapefruit and yellow fruit. On the palate, it offers a full-bodied texture that opens up generously, delivering a pleasant and rich sensation. The salinity on the finish is a pleasant surprise and fits perfectly in this remarkable, unoxidized cuvée, thanks to the topping-up process. The whole is harmonious, with a long, lingering finish, leaving us wanting to return to these exquisitely natural flavors.

Domaine Bornard
Jura | France
In the Jura, Tony Bornard cultivates a personal approach to the region's emblematic grape varieties, notably Savagnin, Trousseau, and Poulsard. Vineyard management is conducted biodynamically, with a focus on the natural balance of the grapes and their ability to express their origin without excessive intervention.
Winemaking emphasizes adaptability, with aging choices varying according to the desired profiles: topped-up or non-topped-up wines, and the use of amphorae or old barrels. These options allow for adjusting textures and balances without standardizing the cuvées or fixing a unique style.
The wines retain a distinct spontaneity, featuring agile textures and often direct fruit, supported by vibrant energy. The overall approach highlights the diversity and liveliness of the Jura terroirs, offering a free yet coherent interpretation, attentive to both precision and expression.
