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.

2019 was an extremely difficult growing year in Jura with severe frost resulting in very low yields across the region. Consequently, the Bornards elected to vinify all parcels of the same variety together, meaning this is the only Chardonnay produced. Given 2 years in barrel, this is an immense, driven white with complex aromas of hay, baking spices, preserved lemon and quince.
