A hidden gem in Sancerre, Domaine Régis Jouan works just 5 hectares of vines under a thoughtful, organic approach to craft clean, precise wines—produced in small quantities and largely destined for export.
By sourcing select grapes from trusted growers, the estate also expands its range with a handful of carefully targeted cuvées that are increasingly sought-after.
