MEET THE GROWER Château des Jacques Château des Jacques is part of the Louis Jadot stable. Those distinctive yellow labels are often avoided by collectors – as a foremost Burgundy négociant they aren’t viewed as glamorous. And yet – theymanage their own individual Domaines, whether Domaine Gagey or Château des Jacques, independently and their own vines with generations of skill and know-how. What is certainly true is that if you love drinking great wine and reasonable prices, you will find it across their range. Beaujolas is finding newfound respect these days. We believe everyone should try taste what proper Cru Beaujolais can bring to the table. In the right hands, like Château des Jacques or, say, Thibault Liger-Belair who has been investingmassively in Beaujolais since 2008, the wines are top quality, mineral and fruit driven and show real terroir definition at very little cost. The esteemed Beaujolais producer Château des Jacques have had a superb 2019 vintage despite the challenges. At the downright reasonable cost of these wines and sheer quality, we implore everyone to try them. What’s not to love? Our two favourite Clos, owned by Chateau des Jacques, Grand Carquelin and Rochegrès are almost drinkable nowwith superb fruit density, supple tannins and great complexity – yet they will age and will reward great drinking, young and old.
