2023 Philippe Jouan, Coteaux Bourguignons, Cuvee Thomas

Based in the village of Morey-Saint-Denis, Domaine Philippe Jouan is a small, family-run estate where Philippe continues the low-intervention winemaking techniques passed down through five generations. This wine is made from 40-year-old Pinot Noir vines, which are situated in vineyard parcels located just below the appellation boundaries of the Côte de Nuits. In the glass, it shows a bright, transparent color with clear notes of red cherry, raspberry, and a subtle, earthy minerality that gives it a grounded, balanced structure. The 2023 growing season provided excellent freshness and energy, resulting in a wine with supple tannins and a clean, vibrant finish. This is an approachable, well-defined Burgundy that is ready to enjoy tonight, offering reliable quality and focus.
