Details and technical informations about Winery Jean Bourdy's Marc de Franche-Comté.
Discover the grape variety: Knipperlé
Dry, lively and neutral whites, with a pale golden robe, a taut palate with preserved acidity on undemonstrative citrus and white flower aromas. Discreet and productive rustic profile. Once more widespread, today virtually extinct, preserved in INRAE varietal collections and a few patrimonial Alsatian parcels, it testifies to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic heritage of Alsace. Autochthonous Alsatian white variety.

The wine region of Franche-Comte
IGP of eastern France between Alsace, Burgundy and the Jura (Jurassian massif and Haute-Saône plateaus, ~100 ha), monastic vines since the 10th century. Signature Chardonnay white: dry and lively with green apple, citrus, white flowers and a mineral touch, refreshingly tense acidity. Floral Pinot Gris, Auxerrois and oxidative Savagnin. Light-bodied Pinot Noir (cherry, raspberry) and Gamay in fruity reds.
The word of the wine: Passerillage
Concentration of the grape by drying out, under the influence of wind or sun, as opposed to botrytisation, which is the concentration obtained by the development of the "noble rot" for which Botrytis cinerea is responsible. The word is mainly used for sweet wines.
