1997 | Domaine Vincent & Francois Jouard | Les Chaumees Clos de la Truffiere

Fresh fruited and stylish on the palate mingling white and yellow peaches, lemony citrus, floral notes and racy minerality.

Producer Information

This family-run estate, taken over by the Jouard brothers, Vincent and Francois, in 1990, existed before 1820. Francois and Vincent are one of the few domaines to specialize in this appellation. They only bottle part of our production. Francois is the winemaker and Vincent works the vines. The brothers are very attached to their wine heritage and the value of the soil handed down by their family. The same philosophy applies to vineyard work: joint decision making in each parcel, sustainable viticulture is a priority with extensive plowing in order to avoid chemical weeding. Winemaking Our focus in winemaking is to respect the land and properly show the terroir of Burgundy’s Chassagne-Montrachet appellation. The family holding represents 11 hectares (a little over 27 acres). The Jouard brothers produce 95% white wines, and only 5% red Chassagne-Montrachet. 250 cases are produced assuring only the highest quality wines. The only vines that go into the Jouard estate bottlings are old vines (over 50 years), therefore Vieilles Vignes appears on every label. For all the wines, Francois Jouard uses 1/3 new oak and works with the best barrel-makers—Chassin, Gillet, Billon.
