Domaine Bornard Le Gentil Blanc 2020

DOMAINE BORNARD LE GENTIL BLANC 2020
Jura // France

A rare Jura gem, Le Gentil Blanc balances intensity, power and precision. A vibrant wine of pure energy that simply glows in the glass. Made with 100% Savagnin, the wine bursts with ripe stone fruits and apples. The fruit sits alongside a slight biscuit nuttiness and is all underpinned by a fresh lick of acidity and distinct salinity. A wine with a superb balance between softness and freshness.

Made from pure Savagnin which was hand harvested and spent three weeks on the skins before being pressed into stainless steel tanks for spontaneous fermentation. The wine is then moved in 228 litre wooden barrels for about 12 months. Le Gentil Blanc is labelled ‘Vin de France’ as Tony is gradually moving his wines out of the appellations so that he can have complete freedom with his winemaking.
