Jouan produces an outstanding lineup of wines, but we find ourselves reaching most often for his village-level wines.
The Morey St. Denis has always been one of our favorites. We love the wine's honesty and fascination.

The Morey, which comes from three lieux-dits, Crais Gillon, Corvées, and Le Village, highlights the perfect match between vintage and style.
For the past few months, we've been writing about how successful Jouan was in 2020. This is a producer who outperforms in riper vintages in general. The combination of 2020's verve and blush textures provided a great platform for Jouan to work.
The 2020 Morey really captures how Jouan thrived in this vintage. It's fine-tuned with a velvety power and lots of earthy minerality. The wine has Jouan's signature nuance and pensiveness. It excels at the mysterious beauty that makes Jouan so fascinating.
I'll wrap this up. Over the past decade, Jouan has become one of the most important Burgundy producers. They work on a very compelling wavelength that's rarely encountered these days. The 2020 is a perfect example of how these wines thrive on grace in such an extraordinary way.
