The Melon à queue rouge is a cousin of the Jura Chardonnay, so bursting with fruit that one might forget its origins. A fine achievement by Domaine Bornard.

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.
