This 2019 Chambolle-Musigny comes from a tiny estate situated in the village of Morey-Saint-Denis, run by Phillipe Jouan, the fifth generation of his family to make red Burgundy. The Pinot Noir grapes are typically de-stemmed, with up to 15% whole-bunch fermentation in cooler vintages. This is a fresh and accessible expression, marked by delicate notes of redcurrants and rose petals.
Producer Information
The wines of Henri & Philippe Jouan fly under the radar – and, with the current quantities produced (from just three hectares of vines), this is unlikely to change any time soon.The little wine produced, however, is an honest rendition of some exceptional terroir in the Côte de Nuits. This tiny estate is situated in the village of Morey-Saint-Denis and run by Phillipe Jouan, the fifth generation of his family to make Pinot Noir here.There are five cuvées: a Coteaux Bourguignon, a village Morey-Saint-Denis, Chambolle-Musigny and a single-vineyard village Gevrey-Chambertin Aux Echézeaux (bordering the Grand Cru Charmes-Chambertin). His top cuvées are a Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru Clos Sorbé and Grand Cru Clos Saint-Denis.
