Domaine Bornard VdF Le Ginglet 2021

Le Ginglet has again been produced in 2021 without the Arbois Pupillin appellation displayed on the label, rather it is released under the Vin de France appellation.

However Tony chose not to submit Le Ginglet to the appellation authorities in for many years now and there may be more wines that he might not submit as well.

'The reason us that he wants the wines to reflect the terroir without having to manipulate them into wines that might be more suitable for the conservative members of the authority.

There are other wines, however, that he wouldn’t even think of taking out of the appellation process such as their delicious Vin Jaune, because then he couldn’t put those words on the label nor sell it in the Vin Jaune shaped bottles and that would be very confusing.

Anyway, we are now delighted with the result of the Ginglet in 2021. It is a light, bright and eminently drinkable wine that we absolutely love. It is typical of the best of the Trousseau wines produced in this area.

Ginglet is a word in the local “patois” which means both “having a drink” and “having fun”.'
