Napa on its ear...listen to Jean-Charles Boisset and his visions.
Description
Just when you thought the Napa Valley was going the way of its French counterparts by steeping itself in the tradition...along comes Jean Charles Boisset. You will be fascinated, intrigued, and dumbfounded.
Jean-Charles not only comes from one of the most famed Burgundian families, he married a Gallo. And I think you can surmise, they are a power wine couple in the Napa Valley scene.
One might think that there is a utopia in the Napa Valley. The scenery, the wineries, the people, the lifestyle. Certainly, that is what the public persona is. Like any other industry or group of enthusiasts, there are disagreements and a myriad of ideas on the direction of things.
I think you could safely say, Jean Charles occupies alot of that space.
He has a knack, a vision and an alternative perspective...but stay traditional just the same.
Have a listen and find out why.
