Founded by Henri Jacqueson in 1947, succeeded by his son Paul in 1972 and joined by Paul’s daughter Marie in 2006, and more recently by his son Pierre, this domaine has long been recognised as one of the very best in the Côte Chalonnaise.
They have 13 hectares of wonderfully sited vines, many of which are very old, and prune hard to reduce yields to around 35 hl/ha. They only work the vineyards manually, with very minimal vine treatments. They are one of very few producers in the village to hand-pick everything. Extremely proficient winemaking and judicious use of new oak (20% for whites and 25% for reds) make for beautifully crafted, ripe, intense, sensual wines which have the class to belie their origins.
What the critics say:
"A Monopole of 0.32 ha located next to the cellar and purchased with it in 2012. The vineyard needed a lot of work so 2019 is the first vintage, aged for 18 months in barrel. 50% whole bunch. Medium to deep translucent purple, with some elegance to the nose, in the softer sweeter style of red berry fruit of the vintage, plus some oak at the back. Sensual and persistent, rather than monolithic. Lovely. Drink from 2023-2027. Tasted: March 2022."
