Winemaking: Organic Savagnin grapes were hand harvested and spontaneously fermented with indigenous yeast. Aged in barrels that were not topped up (under a veil of flor) for over 6 years. Bottled with no filtration, fining or added sulphur.

This Wine: We haven't tried, but pretty sure you can expect dried and bruised fruit, walnuts, hazelnuts and spice. An Umami bomb! Huge ageing potential, obviously.

Notes on the Winemaker: Philippe Bornard founded his domain in 2005 in the Jura village of Pupillin. The wines he produced became iconic, both for their striking orange fox labels and their wild, expressive character. Philippe retired in 2017 and his son Tony took over the running of the winery after combining it with his own smaller operation to achieve 11 hectares of vines.
