Château des Jacques
ROMANECHE-THORINSDelve into the history of Beaujolais, its wines, and the story of Château des Jacques, an estate renowned for its unique winemaking methods.
Château des Jacques is a historic estate, born in 1924 from the winegrowing dream of Amédée Rousseau. Today, the estate has 69 hectares of vines, spread over 3 crus: Moulin-à-Vent, Morgon and Fleurie, as well as around ten hectares of Chardonnay in the Beaujolais Blanc AOC. Its winemaking methods remain faithful to its roots: those of Greater Burgundy: the macerations are long and the wines are partially matured in oak barrels in the Château's 17th-century cellars, reflecting the brilliance of the Gamay grape as well as its longevity.
Through a guided tour of the vinification area and our 17th-century cellar, we share the estate’s history, the richness of its terroirs and our unique winemaking methods. A guided tasting of five wines, including a vintage from years gone by, allows visitors to gain a real insight into our expertise and passion for wine, in an authentic and friendly experience led by a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide.
