Vincent and François Jouard farm some of the oldest Chardonnay parcels at the southern end of Chassagne-Montrachet, many planted by their grandfather and now reaching 50–60 years of age. The domaine works entirely by hand, keeping yields modest and fermentations slow and steady in their cool cellar. Their style leans toward clarity and texture rather than heavy oak, allowing old-vine concentration to come through naturally.
The 2023 Vieilles Vignes combines ripe orchard fruit with fresh citrus and gentle floral notes. On the palate, the wine is precise with fresh acidity giving shape to the fruit and a subtle mineral note carrying through the finish. It is an expressive and well-defined Chassagne, with the depth that old vines bring and the finesse that characterizes the Jouard family’s work.
Varietal: Chardonnay
Appellation: Chassagne-Montrachet Vieilles Vignes, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France
