Joé is a young winemaker, 2019 was his first solo vintage in France. Jay and I came upon him by luck while visiting with his mentor, natural winemaker guru, Alain Allier. He gave us the opportunity to taste his 2019 vintage from vat, and we stayed in touch during the pandemic. Joé is dedicated to the process of making wine with as little intervention as possible. Organically grown fruit, natural winemaking, and he has plans to convert to Biodynamics in the years to come.
