Jean-Charles Boisset was born into the world of wine in the village of Vougeot, Burgundy, France, where his lifelong passion for wine began as a child. Today, he is the visionary behind JCB – A collection of wines that embody both old and new world styles, each labeled with a distinct number and a personal story. With over 40 wines in the collection, JCB offers highly rated Cabernet, Pinot Noir and Sparkling Wines, among many others, from vineyards in Burgundy, Napa Valley and Sonoma.
In addition to wine, Jean-Charles has expanded his luxury portfolio to include a lifestyle vision with a namesake JCB Jewelry collection, glassware from The Passion Collection created by Jean-Charles Boisset and Baccarat, as well as a selection of candles and lifestyle accessories that exemplify the JCB world of hospitality and entertaining. In 2018 Jean-Charles continued his legacy of pioneering innovations with the introduction of JCB Spirits, luxury vodkas and gin distilled from Burgundy wine made from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay that includes the first-ever caviar-infused and truffle-infused vodkas. Guests can also experience his world in person at his JCB tasting salons in St. Helena, Yountville, Healdsburg and San Francisco.
One of the most prestigious wines of the world capable of great power and grace, Napa Valley Cabernet is a leading force in the world of fine, famous, collectible red wine. Today the Napa Valley and Cabernet Sauvignon are so intrinsically linked that it is difficult to discuss one without the other. But it wasn’t until the 1970s that this marriage came to light; sudden international recognition rained upon Napa with the victory of the Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars 1973 Cabernet Sauvignon in the 1976 Judgement of Paris.
Cabernet Sauvignon undoubtedly dominates Napa Valley today, covering half of the land under vine, commanding the highest prices per ton and earning the most critical acclaim. Cabernet Sauvignon’s structure, acidity, capacity to thrive in multiple environs and ability to express nuances of vintage make it perfect for Napa Valley where incredible soil and geographical diversity are found and the climate is perfect for grape growing. Within the Napa Valley lie many smaller sub-AVAs that express specific characteristics based on situation, slope and soil—as a perfect example, Rutherford’s famous dust or Stags Leap District's tart cherry flavors.
