Moulin A Vent

Notes - 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 in the Beaujolais region of Moulin á Vent, between Fleurie and Chenas. Château des Jacques has a total of 27 hectares in 'Moulin á Vent'. Each of the 5 'Clos' has its own distinct terrior. Moulin á Vent is now referred as the "King of Beaujolais", and considered to be the most Burgundian Cru of Beaujolais.Grand Clos de Rochegrès is an 8ha vineyard, renowned for producing wines of great weight and character, that are capable of ageing and maturing over 10 years. The wine is made in the traditional way and is aged in new oak casks prior to bottling.This wine has an exquisite deep cherry red. it releases powerful aromas of lush red fruit and spices, both elegant and dense. The taste is abundant, tannins are well-formed despite their youth, at once harmonious, delicate and impressive. A wine of the highest standard, with a full, fleshy fruit character. It will be fine drinking for 10-20 years, perhaps even longer. This wine will perfectly match with red meat in sauce, game and most cheeses.
