AboutDomaine Jean Bourdy
Domaine Jean Bourdy is rooted in Arlay in the Jura, where the family dates its winegrowing history to 1579 and sixteen generations. Laura Bourdy returned in 2018 and acquired the domaine in 2022; she is the first woman to lead the family estate.
Jean-François and Jean-Philippe Bourdy began converting the estate’s ten hectares to biodynamics in 2006, with Demeter certification following in 2010. The range spans Chardonnay and Savagnin whites, reds from Poulsard, Trousseau and Pinot Noir, and Jura specialities including Crémant, Vin Jaune, Vin de Paille and Macvin. The cellar also holds an extensive collection of older vintages.
Domaine Jean Bourdy Macvin du Jura François
French Fortified
Fresh grape aromas are joined by ripe fruit and prune in the documented profile. The palate is slightly syrupy and naturally sweet, with a smooth, full-bodied texture and no harshness. Production combines two-thirds unfermented grape juice with one-third Marc du Jura, followed by one year in old wood. Both organic and Demeter certification are recorded for this traditional fortified wine.

A historic recipe combines grape juice, Marc du Jura and a touch of Fine with twenty-five East and Asian spices. The mixture is then aged in old wood for two to three years. The producer describes extraordinary complexity and an exotic character, with Indian and Asian spices woven through the flavour profile. Firm structure, tannins, organic certification and a sixteen-percent alcohol level are also recorded.
