Jouan produces an outstanding lineup of wines, but we find ourselves reaching most often for his village-level wines.
They are simply gorgeous wines.
The Morey-St-Denis has always been one of our favorites of Jouan's village wines. 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.
The domaine thrives in vintages like 2023. In warm years, the wines are finely tuned, delivering both impact and energetic terroir imprints. Delicacy is married to an imposing, tensile presence. The purity of expression is impressive, especially considering the atypical scale that it works on.
The 2023 is 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.
As we've written before, once you adjust to their un-showy wavelength and whispering complexity, it's really easy to become obsessed with Jouan's wines. The 2023 Morey has this in spades and is completely irresistible.Â
