Bornard-Ponnelle Arbois Pupillin Chardonnay 2022

Bornard's fox in another guise. A collaborative project between Philippe Bornard and Albert Ponelle, who together give life to a great Jura wine. A Chardonnay with a strong identity, very light oxidation and an exuberant saline part. Produced in very few bottles, this wine will become a rarity.

ABOUT THE REGION
Jura region is nestled in the eastern corner of France, bordering Switzerland. This cool-climate region is characterised by its steep slopes and diverse terroirs, which include clay, limestone, and marl soils. Key grape varieties are Savagnin, used to make the unique Vin Jaune, and Chardonnay for age-worthy whites; and Poulsard, Trousseau, and Pinot Noir for reds. Jura is renowned for its oxidative winemaking techniques such as sous voile ageing, which gives its whites a nutty, complex character, while its reds are known for their light body and vibrant fruit flavours.
