Olivier Jouan
Olivier Jouan produces Pinot Noir from Bourgogne's most prestigious terroirs. The winery's Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru represents the apex of the region's classification system—a wine of structure and complexity drawn from one of Burgundy's most storied vineyard sites. The Vieilles Vignes Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru 'La Riotte' offers a more intimate expression of the region's clay and limestone soils, showcasing the elegance and mineral precision that define the appellation. Both wines have been assessed by Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, and Wine Enthusiast. The house works within Burgundy's exacting standards, where Pinot Noir's translucent character and age-worthiness depend entirely on site selection and restraint in the cellar.
