Description
Product Description:This Chambolle-Musigny Vieilles Vignes 2023 from Domaine Henri & Philippe Jouan captures the depth and perfume of old-vine Pinot Noir from Burgundy’s Cote de Nuits. Grown in the prestigious Chambolle-Musigny appellation, this Burgundy Cote de Nuits red wine (Pinot Noir) is shaped by five generations of winemaking heritage. Philippe Jouan’s minimal-intervention approach ensures a wine of purity, precision, and terroir expression. From three hectares of meticulously tended vineyards, the Vieilles Vignes fruit comes from mature vines that deliver naturally low yields and concentrated flavour. The Jouan family’s focus on sustainable farming and traditional cellar work preserves the authentic character of Chambolle-Musigny, resulting in a wine prized for its finesse and complexity. Production is small, making each release sought after by collectors and Burgundy devotees. With its fine structure and aromatic profile, this 2023 Pinot Noir suits both near-term enjoyment and careful cellaring. Ideal alongside classic Burgundian pairings such as duck or mushroom dishes, it is crafted in the Cote de Nuits and shipped from Sydney with fast metro delivery and Australia-wide service. The Maker Philippe Jouan is the fifth generation of his family to work in the vineyards of Morey-Saint-Denis, continuing the winemaking tradition established by his great-grandfather, a barrel cooper. Philippe’s deep-rooted connection to the land and his family’s winemaking history inform his approach to viticulture and winemaking. Under Philippe’s stewardship, the Domaine has grown in both quality and reputation, producing wines that reflect the unique character of the Cote de Nuits. While the estate remains small, with only three hectares of vines, Philippe has worked to refine and preserve the traditional practices of his ancestors, focusing on low-intervention methods in both the vineyard and the cellar. This commitment to preserving the authenticity of the wines while evolving with modern techniques ensures that the wines of Domaine Henri & Philippe Jouan continue to impress wine lovers and critics alike.
