Le Moulin, Chateau des Jacques

Welcome to Château des Jacques! Let me introduce you to our unique creation: Le Moulin. This small plot in the north of the Cru Beaujolais Moulin-à-Vent is a true pearl. On just 0.2 hectares, the Gamay thrives here in a perfect eastern orientation, surrounded by the oldest bush vines of our winery, planted between 1945 and 1950.

Our winemaker Cyril Chirouze tends this vineyard with the greatest dedication. The result? A wine of incomparable elegance, concentration, and longevity. The unique soil of quartz sand gives our Le Moulin a very special energy, freshness, and minerality.

For the 2018 vintage, we vinified the first Le Moulin in the Burgundian style. A slow maceration, regular pigeage, and ten months of maturation in French oak ensure an unmistakable character.

Experience the extraordinary quality and terroir of Le Moulin, exclusively from Château des Jacques. Immerse yourself in the world of fine aromas and let yourself be enchanted by this unique drop. Treat yourself to something special - Le Moulin is more than just a wine, it is an experience. Welcome to Château des Jacques!

Château des Jacques: History and development of a significant winery in Beaujolais

Château des Jacques was founded in 1829 and is located in the renowned Moulin-à-Vent in Beaujolais, France. The winery covers about 80 hectares and is known for its high-quality Gamay wines.

In 1996, it was taken over by Maison Louis Jadot, which led to a new era and continuous quality improvement. Château des Jacques focuses on traditional viticulture.

The wines reflect the terroir of the region and are characterized by intense aromas and remarkable aging potential. Especially the Crus Moulin-à-Vent, Morgon, and Fleurie are highly valued. Château des Jacques stands for a harmonious connection of tradition and innovation and remains a shining example of the excellence of Beaujolais viticulture.

The continuous further development and commitment to quality make the winery an important player in the French wine landscape.
