This domaine is run by Philippe who has taken over from his father Henri. Henri is a contemporary, friend, and neighbor to Jacky Truchot, and there is a commonality to their wines, with many of the same vineyard sources and approaches in the winery. The Jouan wines could be described as slightly coarser in comparison, which is like comparing silk and satin and calling the satin rough. Philippe has continued the winemaking practices of his father. Located in Morey-St.-Denis, the domaine is tiny. Farming less than four hectares in the Côte de Nuits, and selling most of his grapes, they do not produce much. The winemaking is all about bringing their old vines to prominence. 100% destemming, gentle extractions, cool fermentations, and minimal influence of new wood across the range. These wines are expressive of their origin, giving of fruit and, texturally lush and elegant, but balanced with tension, and with a subtle earthiness and minerality. This Vieilles Vignes cuvée comes from three different parcels in the village of Chambolle. The wine is elegant with delicate spice and rose petal. There is a lovely red fruit that is concentrated in the attack and airy on the finish, and a delicate fresh earth undertone peeking through.
