Based in Mercurey, in the heart of Burgundy’s Côte Chalonnaise, Famille Joussier is dedicated to showcasing the character of Clos de l’Évêché, one of the appellation’s historic vineyard sites. Through generations of family ownership, the estate has built a reputation for producing authentic Pinot Noir and Chardonnay that reflect the identity of this distinctive monopole vineyard.

The Estate

The estate is centred around Clos de l’Évêché, a rare monopole entirely owned and managed by the Joussier family. This unique position allows complete control over every aspect of vineyard management and winemaking, ensuring consistency and a clear expression of the vineyard’s character from vintage to vintage.

Vineyards and Terroir

Clos de l’Évêché extends across 14 hectares of gently sloping vineyards planted primarily to Pinot Noir, with smaller parcels of Chardonnay. Limestone and marl soils provide excellent drainage and contribute structure, freshness and mineral complexity. The vineyard’s favourable exposure promotes even ripening while preserving balance and elegance.

Winemaking

The family follows a sustainable approach in the vineyard and a measured philosophy in the cellar. Fermentations take place with careful attention to preserving fruit purity and site expression, while ageing in French oak adds texture and complexity without dominating the wines. The goal is to allow the vineyard to speak clearly through every bottle.

Wine Style

The reds offer bright red fruit, floral aromatics and subtle earthy notes supported by fine tannins and freshness. The whites combine citrus, orchard fruit and mineral tension with a refined texture. Across the range, the wines are elegant, balanced and unmistakably Burgundian.
