(Notes vintage 2017)

The Bourgogne version of Clos De Loyse releases notes of hot ashes on the nose. The fruit is crisp and the palate well-balanced. Downstream from the Chénas and Juliénas crus, Clos de Loyse offers a distinctive and original expression of Chardonnay, a talented white Burgundy!

Rated 14/20 (Vintage 2017) (Good wine)

Domaine rated (guide 2021) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)

About the domain :

The estate, owned by Beaune's Louis Jadot but managed independently, has grown considerably since its acquisition in 1996. The vineyard extends over 90 hectares, mainly in moulin-à-vent, of which he is one of the leading specialists. He owns plots in the best areas, such as Rochegrès, La Roche, Carquelins and, more recently, La Rochelle. Cyril Chirouze continues the work of excellence begun over fifteen years ago.

About the domain :

Is the 2018 vintage the finest produced to date at Château des Jacques under Jadot's management? That's certainly the question I asked myself as I tasted these new releases, and Cyril Chirouze and his team deserve the warmest praise for what they've accomplished. When Jadot acquired this vast, historic estate in 1996, winemaking was rethought with a Burgundian accent, introducing de-stemming, long macerations, new oak and extended ageing. To my palate, the wood component of the wines was sometimes too much, even with bottle age; and that's why these 2018s stand out: they're simply the best-integrated wines I've tasted from Château des Jacques between 1996 and today. Deep, concentrated and elegantly muscular - after all, 2018 was a hot year - these are serious, cellar-bound wines, and I'm very optimistic indeed about their future. All the wines reviewed here are warmly recommended.

Rated (2020 guide) 14/20 (Vintage 2017) (Good wine)

Domaine rated (guide 2022) 2*Stars (These great estates, often endowed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).

About the domain :

Since its acquisition in 1996 by Louis Jadot of Beaune, the domaine's signature has been fully acquired, and "Les Jacques" has become a model of Beaujolais de garde, while continuing to rely on Burgundian methods. After the Guillaume de Castelnau era (manager from 2000 to 2014), Pierre-Henri Gagey handed over the reins in 2016 to Cyril Chirouze, an agricultural engineer and oenologist, who had vinified here between 2007 and 2013. The parcel-based cuvées require a minimum of five years' cellaring to fully express the identity of their soils. We feel that the transition to organic production and the construction of the new winery have enabled us to reach a new milestone in the definition of our crus. We'll be keeping a close eye on this progress.
