Philippe Bornard

Based in the village of Pupillin, near Arbois, Philippe Bornard’s wines became highly sought after for their authenticity, purity, and expressive character.
Born into a family of vignerons, Philippe initially worked alongside his father in the vineyards before striking out on his own in the early 2000s. He inherited old vines planted with Jura’s classic varietals, including Savagnin, Ploussard, Trousseau, and Chardonnay. The vineyards, situated on the region’s limestone and marl soils, were cultivated using organic practices, with a strong emphasis on maintaining the health of the soil and the ecosystem.

Jura

Jura, a small yet distinctive wine region in eastern France, is celebrated for its unique wines and picturesque landscapes. Nestled between Burgundy and Switzerland, it benefits from a cool climate and varied soils, ideal for producing a diverse range of wines. The region is particularly renowned for its oxidative whites, such as Vin Jaune, made from the Savagnin grape and aged under a layer of yeast, resulting in complex, nutty, and slightly tangy flavours. It also excels in producing fresh and vibrant white wines from Chardonnay, as well as light, earthy reds from Pinot Noir, Trousseau, and Poulsard. The region's sparkling wines, Crémant du Jura, are made using traditional methods and are known for their finesse and elegance. With its blend of traditional winemaking techniques and unique terroirs, Jura offers a fascinating wine experience for enthusiasts seeking distinctive and high-quality wines.
