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.   

About the Producer

Domaine Bornard, a shining beacon of natural wine in the village of Pupillin in the Jura. The Domaine was founded by Phillipe Bornard in 2005 after Phillipe decided to leave his local cave co-operative after 30 years to make his own wine- thanks to some persuasion from friend and Jura legend, Pierre Overnoy. Phillipe quickly became one of the most interesting wine-makers in the region, crafting distinguished wines that are pure and some of the most exciting expressions of the region.

Like Pierre Overnoy, he picks by hand, respects his vines and intervenes at least in the vinification process. Inputs" are banned and SO2 is just used with mastery at the time of bottling. Long macerations, long maturing in casks, up to 3 years for the whites for example, characterize fine and delicate wines, vibrant, with precise flavours, also destined for long ageing and playing on an exceptional freshness!

Philippe has retired in 2017 and his son Tony currently runs the estate.
