Producer Notes Jean Bourdy is known for producing distinctive wines that express the unique terroir of the Jura region. While the description mentions their Chardonnay as being particularly surprising (with vines dating back to 1904), this red blend similarly demonstrates their commitment to traditional winemaking methods and minimal intervention.
Wine Philosophy Jean-François Bourdy emphasizes that his wines are true expressions of Jura. Their identity comes not just from the grape varieties but also profoundly from the ground itself. The wines are individual expressions with depth, complexity, and energy that become habit-forming, particularly after allowing oneself a few sips to fully appreciate their character.
Food Pairing The wine's lively acidity and complex flavor profile make it exceptionally food-friendly. It would pair well with traditional Jura dishes like Comté cheese, chicken with morels, or coq au vin jaune.
