Winemaking

Paul Jouard is a 7th-generation Burgundian vigneron who emphasizes letting vineyard and terroir speak—hand-harvesting fruit and aiming for wines that preserve fruitiness and liveliness rather than being over-shaped by technique. This Bourgogne Blanc uses a small portion of new oak to add roundness while preserving freshness and purity.
