Domaine Tony Bornard Pinot Noir L'Aide Mémoire 2022

Domaine Tony Bornard’s L’Aide Mémoire Pinot Noir 2022 offers a distinctive Jura interpretation of the variety, combining the grape’s natural elegance with the region’s characteristic freshness and mineral character. Produced in one of France’s most individualistic wine regions, it is a refined, terroir-driven red for drinkers who enjoy Pinot Noir with a more savoury and earthy profile.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a bright ruby colour, often with a transparent edge typical of cool-climate Pinot Noir. Its nose is expressive and finely detailed, with aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry alongside woodland herbs, subtle spice and an earthy, mineral nuance. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and energetic, balancing delicate red-fruit flavours with lively acidity and fine, gently structured tannins. A savoury finish brings notes of dried herbs and forest floor. It should drink beautifully in its youth, while careful cellaring for several years may allow additional complexity to emerge.

Production
The wine comes from Jura’s distinctive limestone- and marl-rich terroir, where the region’s cool continental climate helps Pinot Noir retain freshness and aromatic precision. Specific details regarding vine age, harvesting and vinification for the 2022 cuvée are not provided; however, Domaine Tony Bornard is known for an artisanal approach that places emphasis on expressing the vineyard and vintage with minimal intervention.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled at approximately 14–16°C. Its fresh acidity and savoury character make it a natural partner for roast chicken, duck, pork, mushroom dishes, lentils and Jura specialities such as Comté cheese. A brief decant of 20–30 minutes can help open the wine, although older bottles are best handled gently and served without prolonged aeration.

Producer
Domaine Tony Bornard is based in Pupillin, in the Jura, a region celebrated for its small-scale, characterful wines and unusual local traditions. The estate is associated with the Bornard family, whose work reflects Jura’s strong focus on terroir, freshness and hands-on cellar practices. Its wines are sought after by enthusiasts for their individuality and expressive, naturally styled profile.
