DOMAINE BORNARD
Pupillin, Jura, France
After travelling in France, the United States and Australia to gain hands-on experience, Tony Bornard came back to the Jura in 2011. Since then, he dedicated himself to the understanding of the soil and agronomy, to then take over the vinification of the wines at the Domaine, becoming an employee of his father Philippe. In the meantime, Tony was working with different vines and bottling under his own Domaine.
In 2017, following Philippe’s retirement, Tony finally took over the Domaine completely, adopting his own farming methods. Today the Domaine covers 11 hectares planted with Jura’s grape varieties.The famous red fox still stands on the labels as the totem. Still located in the tiny village of Pupillin but with a new winery, Tony keeps at heart to perpetuate the family wine tradition that goes back to so many generations before him.
