unprecedented
The result of careful consideration of climatic conditions and terroir, the Syrah “Les Jacques” comes from vines less than 10 years old planted on the superb granitic terroirs of “La Roche” and “Rochegrès” in the town of Romanèche-Thorins in Saône-et-Loire. This unique harmony lends elegance and character to this unprecedented red wine, which bridges the gap between the Beaujolais and the Rhône regions. Its body and concentration, combined with a lovely freshness, captivate us and inspire us to explore new horizons.

Rated estate (2021 guide): 4*Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)

About the estate:

The estate, owned by Louis Jadot of Beaune but managed independently, has grown significantly since its acquisition in 1996. The vineyard spans 90 hectares, primarily consisting of Moulin-à-Vent, a variety in which the estate is a leading specialist. It owns plots in the finest areas, such as Rochegrès, La Roche, Carquelins, and, more recently, La Rochelle. Cyril Chirouze continues the tradition of excellence established more than fifteen years ago.

Wine rated (2022 guide) 90/100 (2020 vintage) (Excellent wine)

Rated estate (2022 guide) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker—The Wine Advocate)

About the estate:

Is the 2018 vintage the finest wine produced to date at Château des Jacques under Jadot’s leadership? That is certainly the question I asked myself while tasting these new releases, and Cyril Chirouze and his team deserve the warmest praise for what they have accomplished. When Jadot acquired this vast historic estate in 1996, the winemaking process was reimagined with a Burgundian focus, introducing destemming, long macerations, new oak, and extended aging. To my palate, the oaky component of the wines was sometimes too pronounced, even with bottle aging; and that is why these 2018s stand out: they are quite simply the best-integrated wines I have tasted from Château des Jacques between 1996 and today. Deep, concentrated, and elegantly robust—after all, 2018 was a hot year—these are serious wines, built for cellaring, and I am truly very optimistic about their future. All the wines reviewed here come highly recommended.

Rated Estate (2022 Guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)

About the estate:

Since its acquisition in 1996 by the Beaune-based Louis Jadot, the estate has fully embraced its identity, and “Les Jacques” has emerged as a model of a Beaujolais wine with aging potential, while continuing to draw on Burgundian methods. Following the era of Guillaume de Castelnau (director from 2000 to 2014), Pierre-Henri Gagey handed the reins back to Cyril Chirouze in 2016—an agricultural engineer and oenologist who had previously worked as a winemaker there from 2007 to 2013. The single-vineyard wines require a minimum of five years of aging to fully express the character of their terroir. It is clear that the transition to organic farming and the construction of the new winery have marked a new milestone in the definition of these wines. We will be following this progress closely.
