Description
Vin Jaune 2012 “Deuxième Tirage” is an oxidative, natural wine crafted by , in the Jura region in . This special white wine is made with grapes, which have been aged for much longer than most Vin Jaune in barrel – here 10 years in 228 litre barrels!
Whilst Tirage usually refers to the secondary addition to create sparkling wine, in this sense it is a second bottling. So originally it the FIRST bottling was on 09.09.2019 after 7 years of sous voile oxidative aging, and THIS was bottled it on 01/08/2022, after 10 years of aging under a veil.
This “second tirage” therefore benefited from an additional 3 years of aging under a veil in the barrel to create more complexity.
Tasting notes of Tony Bornard 2012 Vin Jaune
Wow! What a totally unique Vin Jaune and VERY unexpected, really quite different. Notes of ash, sea breeze, pencil lead, walnut and quince. Not your usual Vin Jaune combination at all and very cool because of it!
TONY BORNARD DOCUMENTARY
One of our first documentaries many years ago was with Tony Bornard, at a time when he had just build his new winery in Pupillin, and literally in the process of moving barrels in from the old cellar of Philippe Bornard into the new place up the road. This process of change was an important period for Tony Bornard and he opens up about this and the emotional aspects related to it.
