Bornard Chardonnay Les Gaudrettes Jura
A powerful Chardonnay from old vines. Manual harvesting is followed by spontaneous fermentation with wild yeasts. Ageing happens in large oak barrels, and in the 'ouille' (non-oxidative) style. Plenty of yellow stone fruit, citrus and minerals at play, with some subtle nutty elements. The palate is juicy, mineral and rich, with medium body and good acidity to keep things flowing. Best enjoyed on a rich table.
Tony Bornard is the son of renowned (and now retired) producer Philippe Bornard. He struck out on his own in 2013, then merged his estate with his father’s in 2017, bringing him to 11.5 hectares of land in the town of Pupillin in the Jura region. The wines span two appellations, Arbois-Pupillin and Côtes du Jura, but Tony’s plan for the next few years is to remove his wines from the appellations to allow him more freedom in his process. Nevertheless, we're sure they will keep being the fresh and special gems they are now.
