Domaine de la Borde “Arbois-Pupillin Vin Jaune” is an exceptional and traditional expression of the Jura’s most iconic wine style. Aged under a natural veil of yeast (sous voile) for over six years, it showcases remarkable depth, nutty complexity, and the unmistakable character that defines true Vin Jaune.
