Thriving On Grace Revisited:
2021 Jouan Gevrey-Chambertin "Aux Echezeaux"

Posted by Ian McFadden

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 easy to become obsessed.

As we've written before, the 2021s capture the finesse and aromatics 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 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 another opportunity to offer.
