About the experience

1h30

3-17 persons

Available in: French,  English
(This experience requires you to have your own car as the vineyards are a 5-minute drive from the estate).
Meet at the foot of the 15th century mill which gave its name to this prestigious appellation. Through a short walk (around 30 minutes, depending on the weather and your desires) you will discover the landscapes and terroirs of the Moulin-à-Vent vintage, as well as the challenges represented by working the vines and the soils involved in organic conversion. We will then return to the château for a tour of the vatage, our cellars, and a tasting of 5 wines: Beaujolais blanc Clos de Loyse, Morgon, Fleurie, Moulin-à-Vent, as well as two of our plot selections. We always end the tasting with a wine over 10 years old in order to appreciate the potential for evolution of these wines. The Château boutique also offers a selection of older vintages kept in our cellars.

Guide

About the host

Forget all preconceived ideas and come and discover another facet of Beaujolais: Château des Jacques is a historic estate established on the Moulin-à-Vent, Morgon and Fleurie vintages. Its winemaking methods remain stubbornly faithful to its roots: those of Great Burgundy: here there is no "carbonic maceration", the macerations are long and the aging in oak barrels in the 17th century cellars restore the radiance as accurately as possible. gamay, but also its longevity.
