Philippe Jouan, Morey-Saint-Denis Vieilles Vignes, 2023
Philippe Jouan represents the fifth generation of his family making Pinot Noir in Morey-Saint-Denis. He joined his father Henri at Domaine Henri et Philippe Jouan in 2004 and is now assisted by his own son. The family continues using a 100-year-old wooden press used by his father's grandfather. This small estate farms only 3 hectares across 10 parcels, selling wines below-market—authentic, rustic Burgundy at accessible prices. All wines are bottled, corked, and labeled by hand, unfined and unfiltered. The Vieilles Vignes designation comes from old-vine parcels averaging 60 years, with some plantings from the 1920s, 1940s, and 1950s. Morey-Saint-Denis soils are limestone and clay-limestone from the Middle Jurassic. Expect full, bright ruby color with black fruits (blackcurrant, bilberry), pitted cherries, rose petal, and lily aromas. Fine-boned tannins and poised finish. The 2023 offers generous ripeness with crystalline acidity. Authentic village Burgundy from a family dedicated to tradition.
