Trousseau Rouge "Le Garde Corps" 2018 | Wine from Domaine Tony Bornard

The Domaine Tony Bornard is located in Pupillin, at the heart of the Jura, a wine region renowned for its unique wines. Founded by Philippe Bornard and now managed by his son Tony Bornard, the estate covers 11 hectares, planted with traditional Jura grape varieties such as Chardonnay, Savagnin, Poulsard, Pinot Noir, and Trousseau. With expertise and a nature-respectful approach, Tony Bornard produces natural wines, unfiltered and without added sulfites, prioritizing the pure expression of the terroir and the grape variety. The red fox, emblem of the estate, symbolizes this sincere and artisanal approach.

The Trousseau Rouge "Le Garde Corps" 2018 is a unique cuvée that perfectly illustrates the bold and innovative style of Tony Bornard. This wine is made from 100% Trousseau grape, a typical variety of Jura, known for producing elegant wines with complex aromas. The 2018 vintage benefits from exceptional climatic conditions, offering a powerful and generous wine, where red and black fruits explode on the palate, supported by a lively acidity and citrus notes. This wine also stands out for its slightly "funky" character, brought by its natural fermentation and lack of interventions in the cellar.

• Color: Intense ruby red with garnet highlights.
• Nose: Expressive aromas of red fruits (cherry, raspberry) and black fruits (blackberry, blackcurrant), with a subtle touch of citrus and undergrowth.
