The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Owned by the Maison Louis Jadot, Château des Jacques is unquestionably the most Burgundian of the Beaujolais estates. With an inimitable drive and style, its wines outperform their peers and regularly rival the finest standards of the Côte-de-Nuits.
Wine Gourmet fruit, raspberry coulis, elderberry, fine wood... The 2017 red Morgon aligns enchanting flavors in a high-style palate, judiciously aged in a Burgundian style and perfectly balanced.
