Domaine Henri & Philippe Jouan Chambolle Musigny 2022

The Domaine Henri & Philippe Jouan Chambolle-Musigny 2022 is a refined and expressive Pinot Noir that beautifully showcases the terroir of one of Burgundy’s most prestigious villages. Domaine Henri Jouan, now run by Philippe Jouan, has a rich winemaking heritage that spans generations, with vineyards passed down through the Noirot family, the very roots of the Domaine. Situated in Morey-Saint-Denis, this small but highly respected estate spans only three hectares, producing wines that reflect an impeccable sense of place. The Chambolle-Musigny 2022 is a stellar representation of the elegance and finesse the village is known for, capturing the essence of this exceptional terroir. The wine is crafted with meticulous care, following the gentle techniques perfected by Philippe’s father, including selective destemming and careful handling during fermentation.

In the 2022 vintage, the wine has a lively and precise character, with bright red berry fruits and floral aromas intertwining seamlessly. The grapes for this wine are grown with minimal intervention, including strategic de-leafing and reduced treatments, allowing the natural qualities of the terroir to shine through. The wine is fermented with up to 10% whole-bunches, a technique that adds complexity and subtlety to the final expression. Aging in French oak barrels, with a balanced proportion of new oak, imparts structure and depth while allowing the purity of the fruit to remain the focus. The result is a wine that is elegant, fresh, and layered, with fine tannins and a lingering, refined finish, promising further complexity with age.
