“Everything begins with the osmotic relationship between the vines and the soil in which they’re planted”

It’s absolutely imperative that due respect is paid to the life force of the soil as this is transmitted directly to the vines. In turn, respect is due to the life force of the vines, as this is eventually returned to the soil. Each parcel is different, with its own history, its own geo-pedagogical characteristics, its precise location, the age of the vines planted there, its relationship with the grower who tends the vines… Each parcel of soil, therefore, needs to be treated according to its own individual character and requirements, whether the method applied is based on the principles of organic viticulture, biodynamics, applied geobiology or something entirely different.

The Château des Jacques is fully committed to this life-affirming approach, without being at all dogmatic about the philosophy. A pioneer among the producers who have put Beaujolais back on the fine wine map, the Château’s culture is one of constant questioning and change, with the overall aim of improving our wines. The 69 hectares of vineyards at the Château des Jacques are primarily located in Moulin-à-Vent, Morgon and Fleurie. In short, our vineyards are situated in the region’s best climats.
