VdF Rouge “Au fil des générations” Magnum 2021 Tony Bornard
“Au fil des générations” 2021 comes from the heart of the Jura, where the Poulsard grape reaches one of its most authentic and refined expressions. Produced by Domaine Bornard, this wine reflects a minimalist philosophy focused on varietal identity and the ability of time to shape and refine the wine’s structure.
The choice of the magnum format plays a key role in its style and evolution. Larger bottles allow for a slower and more stable maturation, enhancing balance, complexity and longevity—particularly important for a delicate grape such as Poulsard.
In the glass, it shows a pale and translucent colour, typical of the variety, hinting at its subtle aromatic profile. The nose is delicate and expressive, with fresh red berries, light floral notes and a fine mineral backbone, adding depth without ever overpowering its finesse.
On the palate, the texture is silky, fluid and harmonious. The wine unfolds with a light yet structured profile, allowing aromatic complexity to emerge with clarity and precision. Fruity notes are supported by a subtle and elegant minerality, which extends the palate and enhances depth.
The finish is long, refined and balanced, marked by a graceful interplay between intensity and lightness, encouraging slow and contemplative tasting.
“Au fil des générations” is a wine made for time: a pure expression of the Bornard philosophy, where minimal intervention and terroir transparency define the style. A Jura red that evolves beautifully over the years, ideal for those seeking wines with character and ageing potential.
