What if we could capture style and hold it in a bottle? What if heritage and promise could be entwined? What if personality— audacious, passionate, unique, subtle, mysterious—was revealed from one bottle to another by a Number, until it was all held within a limited collection of fine wines? The answer to these questions is JCB, a new way of thinking about wine…a new way of exploring taste and style.
Jean-Charles Boisset was born into a winemaking family in Burgundy, France, just a few hundred meters from Burgundy's famed Clos Vougeot. Today, he is the proprietor, along with his sister, Nathalie, and parents Jean-Claude and Claudine Boisset, of a collection of more than twenty historical and unique wineries that boast leading positions in the world’s pre-eminent terroirs, including Raymond Vineyards (Napa Valley); DeLoach Vineyards (Russian River Valley), Lyeth Estate and Buena Vista Winery (both in Sonoma County); Domaine de la Vougeraie, Bouchard Aîné and Jean-Claude Boisset (in Burgundy), J. Moreau (Chablis), and Louis Bouillot, Burgundy’s first producer of sparkling wine, among others.
Created by Jean-Charles Boisset, the innovative JCB Collection brings together two worlds of winemaking—Old and New. With the collection, Jean-Charles celebrates his French heritage while embracing his passion for California. Each wine in the collection is a limited edition, and is “named” with a number. These numbers signify a wine style that Jean-Charles strives to achieve vintage to vintage, while also symbolizing important ideas, passions and moments in his life and wine career.
