About Joullian Vineyards
Joullian Vineyards carries the French-heritage family surname of the Joullian family — their name on a Carmel Valley estate established in 1982, one of the appellation's historically founding modern wine estates. The distinctive French-heritage Joullian surname declares the family's European ancestry and their belief that Carmel Valley's well-drained alluvial soils and warm, sunny days moderated by the Pacific's marine influence create conditions suited to the Bordeaux varieties the family has chosen.
The Carmel Valley estate produces Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, and Zinfandel from estate Carmel Valley vineyard blocks at the Joullian Ranch property in the upper valley. The family's four-decade commitment to the same estate terroir demonstrates the vine depth and soil knowledge that sustained family ownership develops.
