Chateau Des Jacques — Winery in Romanèche-Thorins

Owned since 1996 by Louis Jadot, the first Burgundy house to acquire a large Beaujolais estate. The domaine is known as the most prestigious estate in Beaujolais, with vineyards in Moulin-à-Vent, Morgon and Fleurie. The approach is distinctly Burgundian: destemming, long macerations, ageing in oak barrels and plot-by-plot vinification. Methods that were once traditional in the region but were lost with the arrival of Beaujolais Nouveau. Visits and tastings are possible; booking in advance is recommended, especially in high season.
