Jeanniard, Alain - (Archived)

Nestled in Morey-Saint-Denis is the young and talented wine-maker Alain Jeanniard. In 2000, Alain Jeanniard left behind a career in industry and returned home to begin putting together a small domaine. The British critic Steven Spurrier took notice of this new producer at a trade tasting in the spring of 2008. Mr. Spurrier wrote “Alain Jeannaird, a domaine in Morey-Saint-Denis and new to me, showed tight, intellectual wines with a superb Chambolle 1er Cru Les Combottes.”  When not occupied with his own estate, Alain spends his energy working at a prestigious part time job; the Hospice de Beaune entrusts him with the task of making two of its grand cru cuvées, Mazis-Chambertin and Clos de la Roche.
