Description
 
Philippe Bornard lives in the village of Pupillin near Arbois and the Swiss border. His vineyards were inherited from his father, who previously sold only to co-ops. It was Pierre Overnoy, another Arbois winemaker, who eventually convinced Philippe to begin to make his own wine, and now, with over 27 years of experience under his belt, he is working with nearly 6 hectares of 30-year old vines, and farms exclusively biodynamically - officially certified in 2012. The grapes are grown at high altitudes, on limestone and clay soils, allowing a slow ripening. Typically the wine begins a long, slow maceration in fiberglass, and then is moved to large older oak barrels for maturation, which lasts about one year. Wines are of two appellations: Côtes du Jura and Arbois-Pupillin, and reflect beautifully the terroir of the Jura.

Jo Liqueur is a liqueur wine made with Chardonnay according to the ancestral method. The grapes are harvested then pressed and the juice is reduced in copper cauldrons for 48 hours. It then concentrates in sugar then is mutated with marc (aged at least 18 months and up to 10 years) and fine (an alcohol made from the lees) from the estate to reach 17% alcohol. The exact proportions of marc and fine vary according to the harvest but it is generally about two thirds of grape juice for one third of alcohol. The wine is then aged in barrels for at least seven years. Because the grapes have not been fermented, the Vin de Liqueur retains the varietal character of the grape.
