Jacky Truchot

Jacky Truchot was a Morey-Saint-Denis vigneron who retired in 2007, selling or returning his parcels — including significant holdings in Clos de la Roche Grand Cru and multiple Morey premier crus — to other estates. The cellar has never been replicated. His wines, made with minimal intervention and sometimes extreme use of whole clusters, are now among the most coveted Burgundies on the secondary market. Average prices of $2,336 across 275 lots — with a floor of $440 and a ceiling of $8,125 — place Truchot firmly in ultra-premium territory alongside DRC and Leroy. Clos de la Roche averages $3,477 from 36 lots, with 1996 as the most sought vintage. Multiple Vieilles Vignes bottlings (Morey, Chambolle, Gevrey) average between $1,165 and $2,872 depending on appellation. Chambolle-Musigny Les Sentiers averages $1,661 from 31 lots; Morey-Saint-Denis Les Blanchards averages $1,621 from 17 lots; Morey Les Sorbes averages $1,711 from 11 lots. The 2005 vintage dominates trading across virtually every bottling — his penultimate full harvest before retirement. With no successor having replicable parcel access or stylistic continuity, prices have appreciated consistently as the finite supply circulates through secondary market channels. Collectors treat Truchot bottles as irreplaceable museum pieces of a vanished Morey-Saint-Denis vinification tradition that younger vignerons can reference but not recreate.
