This Côtes du Jura wine from Domaine Bornard is made from the Savagnin grape variety. It is characterized by subtle hints of ripe fruit accompanied by delicate notes of almonds and hazelnuts. The top-up vinification method preserves its unique freshness, unlike the traditional oxidation process used in the Jura. On the palate, it reveals beautiful fullness and a savory structure, underscored by a lingering, briny finish. A refined expression of Jura winemaking expertise.

Domaine Bornard
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.
