VINCENT & FRANCOIS JOUARD Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru 'Morgeot Les Fairendes' 2024 CASE x 6 Bottles - PRE-RELEASE

Description

Pierre-Henri Jouard is now gradually taking over the running of the family estate from his father, François and uncle, Vincent. Together, they harvested the 2024 crop from 14th to 19th September with yields 10% below those of 2023.

They continue to sell a proportion of the crop as grapes to the Beaune négociants, enabling them to retain the fruit from the oldest vines and best-sited vineyards to vinify and sell under their own name.

All the wines are fermented and aged for 12 months in 228 litre barrels from Tonnellerie Chassin. The 11 hectare domaine is now widely recognised as being amongst the finest in Chassagne producing a splendid range of wines that combine crisp, pure fruit and generous, succulent textures.

Les Fairendes, adjoining both Les Caillerets and Grandes Ruchottes, is the finest section of Morgeot for making white wines. The vines were planted on three occasions in 1930, 1989 and 1998 and give a gloriously rich wine with real power and concentration.

Jancis Robinson 17++ points
:"Fairendes is a small part of Morgeot, renowned for the finest whites of this premier cru. Intense, refined, marries power with precision and complexity. A terrific Chassagne premier cru (and a new angle on Morgeot for me). Delicious already but worth buying a case and drinking over a decade (or so). " Andy Howard MW. Drink 2028-2036
