List of products by brand TONY BORNARD
Tony Bornard is one of the leading voices of the new generation of Jura winemakers. Since taking over the family estate in Pupillin in 2017, he has continued the legacy of his father, Philippe Bornard, while developing an even more minimalist and terroir-driven approach. Biodynamic farming, spontaneous fermentations and uncompromising respect for nature define wines of remarkable purity, energy and authenticity.
MoreBased in the historic village of Pupillin, in the heart of the Jura, Tony Bornard has become one of the most compelling figures of the region’s new generation of winemakers. Son of the renowned Philippe Bornard, one of the pioneers of natural wine in the Jura, Tony officially took over the family estate in 2017, merging it with the domaine he had established independently in 2013 and opening a new chapter for one of the region’s most respected artisanal producers.
Before returning home, Tony gained experience working at a large Australian winery. Rather than shaping his future style, the experience convinced him of the practices he wanted to avoid: highly interventionist techniques, technological standardisation and wines designed to fit a formula instead of expressing their origin. This philosophy continues to guide every decision he makes today.
The estate now covers more than 11 hectares of vineyards cultivated according to organic and biodynamic principles. Tony constantly experiments with increasingly gentle vineyard practices, seeking to preserve the natural balance of the vines while reducing treatments to an absolute minimum.
The vineyards are planted on a mosaic of blue, grey and red marl, limestone and schist soils, at relatively high elevations that encourage slow ripening and excellent aromatic development. Here, Jura’s emblematic grape varieties—Savagnin, Poulsard (known locally as Ploussard) and Trousseau—grow alongside Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, producing wines of exceptional freshness and mineral precision.
In the cellar, the philosophy remains one of minimal intervention. Fermentations occur exclusively with indigenous yeasts, without the addition of sulphites or other oenological products. Ageing is adapted to the personality of each wine, using old oak barrels, large foudres, fiberglass tanks and, in some cases, amphorae. Tony also alternates between topped-up (ouillé) and flor-aged (sous voile) styles depending on the vintage and the expression he seeks, refusing to impose a fixed recipe on his wines.
Every bottle is instantly recognisable thanks to the estate’s distinctive fox emblem, a symbol of freedom, curiosity and independence. Tony Bornard’s wines stand out for their precision, vibrant energy and transparency, offering an honest reflection of the Jura’s unique terroirs. Produced in very limited quantities and highly sought after worldwide, they have become benchmark references for lovers of authentic, low-intervention wines.
