We will tell you a little secret: this is one of the best values in Burgundy, hands down. If you are looking for old-school Gevrey-Chambertin without the inflated price, look no further. Exceptional wine in its youth, but will develop gracefully with time in the cellar. If the now-retired and well-renowned Jacky Truchot had a spirit animal, Henri Jouan would be that guy. Friends and neighbors, the wines have a very similar poise and elegance. Henri’s son, Philippe, has been at the helm of the domaine since 2004. The technique in the cellar has hardly changed since the domaine started – 100% destemming and minimal influence of new wood across the range.
