Where is JCB wine made?

Answered by Bill Hernandez

JCB is made at a number of different locations, both in Burgundy, France and in California, USA. Jean-Charles Boisset, the owner and winemaker, has a deep connection to both regions and has chosen specific vineyards in each to craft his wines.

In Burgundy, JCB wine is made at several estate vineyards, which have been owned by the Boisset family for generations. These vineyards are located in some of the most prestigious appellations in Burgundy, such as Gevrey-Chambertin, Nuits-Saint-Georges, and Vougeot. The vineyards are farmed using organic and Biodynamic practices, with a focus on preserving the health of the soil and the biodiversity of the surrounding environment. This commitment to sustainable farming not only results in wines of exceptional quality, but also ensures that the land will continue to thrive for future generations.

In California, JCB wine is made at the Raymond Vineyards in Napa Valley. Jean-Charles acquired Raymond Vineyards in 2009 and has since transformed it into a showcase for his vision of wine and luxury. The vineyards are located in the heart of Napa Valley, surrounded by the iconic mountains and valleys that make this region so unique. Just like in Burgundy, the vineyards at Raymond are farmed using organic and Biodynamic methods, with a focus on producing grapes of the highest quality.

One of the unique aspects of JCB wine is that it combines the best of both Burgundy and California. Jean-Charles has a deep understanding and appreciation for the terroir of each region, and he uses this knowledge to craft wines that are a true expression of their origins. By blending traditional Burgundian winemaking techniques with the bold, fruit-forward style that California is known for, Jean-Charles is able to create wines that are both elegant and powerful.

I have had the pleasure of visiting both the Burgundy and California estates where JCB wine is made, and I can say from personal experience that they are truly special places. The vineyards are meticulously cared for, with each vine receiving individual attention to ensure optimal grape quality. The winemaking facilities are state-of-the-art, yet there is still a sense of tradition and history in every corner. And of course, the wines themselves are absolutely exceptional.

JCB wine is made in both Burgundy, France and California, USA, with a deep respect for the land and a commitment to producing wines of the highest quality. Whether you are enjoying a glass of JCB wine from a vineyard in Gevrey-Chambertin or from the rolling hills of Napa Valley, you can be sure that you are experiencing the unique and extraordinary vision of Jean-Charles Boisset.
