Domaine Bourdy

The Domaine was certified biodynamic in 2006, and the combination of some of the best terroir in the Jura and careful and patient winemaking results in wines that thoroughly express the land on which it is grown. Caves Jean Bourdy produces a full range of wines of the Jura—from red blends of Poulsard, Pinot Noir and Trousseau, whites made of Chardonnay or Savagnin, and of course the very special Chateau Chalon, which is aged for more than 6 years as a film of flor (yeast) protects the wine, imbuing it with one of the most complex noses that can be found in the wine world - Zev Rovine Selections

About the Winemaker

Domaine Bourdy

Established in the late 1400s, Caves Jean Bourdy stands as a venerable institution in the Jura wine region. Today, brothers Jean-Philippe and Jean-François, the 15th generation custodians of this historic estate, carry forth its legacy with unwavering dedication. Cultivating their vines across 10 hectares of pristine terroir, including a prized half hectare in Chateau Chalon AOC, the Bourdys adhere to time-honored winemaking traditions. Fermentation and aging occur in ancient barrels, some boasting an impressive 80-year lineage. Renowned for their remarkable library of aged wines, spanning back to 1926 for reds and 1911 (1865 for Chateau Chalon) for whites, Caves Jean Bourdy epitomizes patience and precision in winemaking.

Indigenous grape varieties such as Savagnin, Trousseau, and Poulsard thrive in this diverse landscape, yielding wines of exceptional complexity and character.
