AJ VAONA
Founded by Justine Mongeard (from Domaine Mongeard‑Mugneret) and her husband Alexandre Carminati, AJ Vaona is based in Vosne‑Romanée. Though the winery is newly launched with its first vintage in 2022, it draws on decades of family heritage and winemaking experience in Burgundy
Philosophy & Practice
This boutique project is built on a blend of tradition and freshness—anchored in the values inherited from the historic Mongeard‑Mugneret legacy. AJ Vaona emphasizes terroir-driven selection from Vosne‑Romanée and Côte de Nuits vineyards, paired with sustainable viticulture and cellar practices
Winemaking Style
Their portfolio—launched from vintage 2022—includes both red Pinot Noirs and white Chardonnays . Early tasting notes describe plush, velvety tannins, fine-grained structure, and elegant red fruit expression in the reds, with lean, refined acidity in the whites
