Olivier Jouan is a sixth generation vigneron who decided to break out on his own in 2000, bucking the family tradition of selling grapes to negociants. He organically farms his 23 acres, which include parcels of Premier Cru in Morey-St.-Denis and Grand Cru Charmes Chambertin. His La Riotte parcel is planted with 40-year-old vines. He ages his wines in a 17th century cellar for a year and uses aged and new French oak barrels for vinification.
