This boutique estate is located in the village of Morey-Saint-Denis and led by Phillipe Jouan, the fifth generation of his family to make wines here. The domaine produces only 5 cuvées from approximately 3 hectares of vines, and quantities are tiny. One of the flagship wines is ‘Clos Sorbè’, a premier cru located on the south-eastern outskirts of Morey-Saint-Denis village, planted entirely to Pinot Noir. This particular release is from the successful 2019 vintage, which produced superb red wines across all appellations.
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.
