Jean Jacques Morel Saint Aubin Rouge 2017

JJ escaped the rat race of Paris and took over his father-in-law's vineyards to establish his micro-domaine in 2003. His philosophies of minimal intervention in both the vineyard and winery are centred on complete respect for nature. From hand-weeded, handpicked vineyards full of natural grasses, wildflowers, fennel, thyme and local fauna, to old oak, no additives and natural yeasts in the winery ‚– JJ will actively tell you he does not contribute anything to the wines. Yet it is his soulful approach that produces such intensely concentrated, vibrant, complex and pure burgundies, wholly transparent in their origins and terroir. - Importer Note
