The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Owned by the Maison Louis Jadot, with 2 stars in the French RVF Green Guide, Château des Jacques is undoubtedly the most Burgundian of the Beaujolais estates. With an inimitable drive and style, the wines outperform their peers and regularly rival the finest standards of the Côte.
Wine The pure 2020 Red Morgon is a deep, concentrated, and perfectly ripe Gamay wine that combines toasted notes with abundant flavors of fruit. The velvety and full-bodied palate is the hallmark of one of the estate's greatest vintages, with a superior body and dimension, skilfully contained by silky tannins and careful ageing. A true aging wine that it would be a shame to open too soon. Rated 94/100 by the Committee.
Vinification Hand harvested, maceration of 3 to 4 weeks, fermentation punctuated by punching down and pumping over.
Aged for 10 months in concrete vats and new French oak barrels and one to two wines.
