Producer

Jean Baptiste Souillard

When you arrive to visit Jean Baptiste, you pull up in front of his family’s old farmhouse where he currently makes his wines. There is something incredibly genuine about both the town of Andance where he lives and the the wines that he makes--they are honest, speak of a place, but also resemble Jean Baptiste himself. The cellar is functional, but has no frills, with the oldest part of the cellar dating back to 1827.

Region/Subregion

France

It would be difficult to overstate the importance of France to the wine world. With a rich history of wine production across virtually all of France over the last thousand years many of the grape species that are known for producing benchmark wines from all over the world had their beginnings in France. Over centuries vignerons refined their focus on what grapes thrived and transmitted a sense of place.
