Jouan's wines are some of the most mysterious, beautiful, and subtle Burgundies I know.
Once you adjust to their un-showy wavelength and whispering complexity, it's really easy to become obsessed.
As we've written before, the 2021s really capture the finesse and aromatic complexity that Jouan's wines are capable of.
While Gevrey-Chambertin is known for its meatiness and power, Aux Echezeaux is surprisingly elegant. It is located in the southern end of the region, right next to Morey-St.-Denis, and produces wines that are much silkier and more delicate. Along with its signature intricacy, the old vines that the wine is sourced from give it a haunting depth.
The 2021 is a soaring, incisive, and agile example of the wine. It's really thrilling. In this vintage, the Aux Echezeaux has a beautiful transparency with gorgeous vivacity and low-octane delicacy.
Jouan's villages wines are among the Burgundies that we drink most often. They are simply gorgeous wines. We're very happy to have the opportunity to offer.
