DOMAINE PHILIPPE BORNARD
Go there and contact
It is a beautiful family home perched on the heights of Pupillin. The view is breathtaking but it is from the cellar that you have to go down! The master of the house, Philippe Bornard, happily shares his passion for wine, flying alone since 2005. He used to deliver his harvest to the fruit farm. He explains the cultivation of organic vines, the natural vinification, in the mind of a pioneer like Pierre Overnoy. There, he remembers how his grandmother prepared the "ratafia", a kind of ancestor of the macvin. It evokes the vine of before, tells how it allows a wine to ripen naturally... long macerations and maturing in tuns. The winegrower, whose fox is the mascot, gives amusing names to his wines: the Bodyguard, the Ginglet, the Chamade, the Point barre, the Point barre, the Tant mieux... A man to meet, endearing, who will perhaps play you a guitar tune.
