Jonathan Purcell, a young Californian winemaker full of talent. His father introduced him to the pleasures of wine at an early age, by having him taste Burgundies from the ’40s and ’50s. The aromas of those elixirs marked him for life. By the age of 15 he’d already decided that “when he grows up” he too would make wine. After working his first harvests in Australia, South Africa and the Napa Valley, Jon headed to Beaune in 2012 to study winegrowing and production, finding himself in the same class as Camille Lapierre, Alex Foillard and Yann Bertrand.
