ALEXANDRE JOUVEAUX, Mâconnais, Burgundy
Alexandre Jouveaux once worked as a fashion photographer for Chanel, but left Paris in 1995 to begin his journey toward becoming a winemaker in Burgundy. He maintains a minimalist approach in the vineyard, working organically, harvesting by hand and choosing not to fine or filter the wine.
His production is incredibly small (6,000 bottles total) and his wines are becoming more popular each year (Anne Claude Leflaive is among his fans), meaning that until he can find more vines that are up to his standards, there are fewer and fewer bottles to go around.
