Wine for sale: Bornard

Bornard

All the diversity of the Jura summed up in one domain.

A reserved but passionate wine maker, Philippe Bornard decided to start making wines under his own label in 2005, making the transition from cooperative working. At this time, Overnoy (who needs no introduction) said of Bornard that he produced the best unlabelled wine he knew of. All the cuvées produced today carry the “Vin de France” appellation. The styles are diverse and varied, from vin jaune to pet' nat' (pétillant nature – natural sparkling wine) and passing by ouillé wine. And not a year goes by without Philippe trying something new. The wines have a small amount of sulphur added to avoid any unpleasant surprises. The terroir is made up of grey, red and blue marl as well as clay-veined schist. The domain's 7 hectares have been organic since 2005 and certified Ecocert since 2013.
