Domaine Tony Bornard Savagnin Les Marnes 2018 white

Domaine Tony Bornard’s Savagnin Les Marnes 2018 is a distinctive Jura white that showcases the grape’s naturally expressive, mineral-driven character. Sourced from marl-rich soils, it offers a precise sense of place and a style that appeals to drinkers looking for something authentic, textured, and firmly rooted in the region’s winemaking heritage.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Savagnin typically shows a bright golden hue with a clean, luminous edge. The nose is layered and inviting, with notes of citrus peel, green apple, walnut, fennel, and a pronounced stony, saline minerality that reflects the marl soils. On the palate, it is structured and lively, balancing freshness with a subtle richness and a savory, almost smoky depth. Expect tension, texture, and a long, dry finish with excellent complexity. While approachable now, it should also reward careful cellaring over the next several years as its nutty and mineral nuances continue to unfold.

Production
Les Marnes comes from marl soils in the Jura, a terroir especially well suited to Savagnin and its naturally firm, mineral profile. The grapes are typically harvested by hand to preserve quality and select the healthiest fruit, then vinified with a focus on expressing purity, tension, and the character of the site. The winemaking approach is restrained, allowing the variety and terroir to remain at the forefront.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with Comté, Gruyère, mushroom dishes, roast poultry, shellfish, and cream-based sauces, as well as traditional Jura fare like chicken with morels. Serve it lightly chilled, ideally around 10–12°C, to keep the aromatics vivid and the structure in balance. Decanting is optional, but a short aeration can help open up its savory complexity.
