Domaine Bornard Au Fil Des Générations (Magnum)
Country: France
Region: Ploussard
Grapes: Ploussard (Poulsard)
Vintage: 2019
Domaine Bornard is based in the famed Jura village of Pupillin. Originally brought to fame by Philippe Bornard, today it is son Tony who has taken over the reins, seamlessly continuing and building upon his father's legacy. In total there is 7 hectares of vines, all farmed organically by Tony, and in the cellar he works with minimal intervention, fermenting with indigenous yeast, eschewing sulphur and other additions and bottled without fining or filtration.
Like 2017, 2019 was another severely frost-affected year in Jura, resulting in a minuscule yield for the domaine. To make a single Ploussard required blending the grapes from every one of the estate’s parcels, and as such this one cuvée is the product of vines planted by four generations of the same family.
