Gilles Jourdan
Gilles Jourdan produces Pinot Noir from Côte de Nuits-Villages, the heart of Burgundy's red wine country. The region's limestone-rich soils and continental climate shape wines of precision and structure—hallmarks of northern Burgundy. The winery's Côte de Nuits-Villages bottling demonstrates the appellation's capacity for depth and complexity, while the monopole vineyard selection 'La Robignotte' offers a more focused expression of the terroir. Both wines have been assessed by Decanter and Wine Spectator, reflecting their standing within serious Burgundy production. Pinot Noir from this region typically displays red fruit character and mineral tension, qualities that emerge from the demanding conditions of the Côte de Nuits. Gilles Jourdan's approach centers on the grapes and the place—a fundamental principle in Burgundy winemaking.
