Description:
Château des Jacques is probably one of the most prestigious estates in Beaujolais and Maison Louis Jadot purchased the estate at the end of 1996. It is located in the Beaujolais region of Moulin á Vent, between Fleurie and Chenas. Château des Jacques has a total of 28.78ha in Moulin á Vent. Each of the 6 'Clos' has its own distinct terroir. Moulin á Vent is now referred to as the King of Beaujolais' 

Tasting Note:

Deep ruby colour. Sweet black fruit, garrigue and pepper together on the nose, this is intense and ripe. The palate follows, with a fleshy core that coats the palate. The tannins show good grip and suggest a potential to age, but the succulent fruit is already open and ready to go. Layers of strawberries and darker plums wash over the finish on this moreish and easy-to-like wine.
