The current estate was created at the end of the 15th century and the Bourdy family is one of the oldest winemaking families. The current generation is the fifteenth generation of the family in the direct line since 1475.

Domaine Jean Bourdy extends over 10 hectares in Arlay, a small village in the heart of the Jura, and produces wines in the Côtes-du-Jura and Château-Chalon appellations, in the purest tradition of Jura viticulture.

The estate has been biodynamic since 2006 and does not use any pesticides.
