Founded by Henri Jacqueson in 1947, succeeded by his son Paul in 1972 and joined
by Paul’s daughter Marie in 2006, and more recently by his son Pierre, this
domaine has long been recognised as one of the very best in the Côte
Chalonnaise. They have 13 hectares of wonderfully sited vines, many of which are
very old, and prune hard to reduce yields to around 35 hl/ha. They only work the
vineyards manually, with very minimal vine treatments. They are one of very few
producers in the village to hand-pick everything. Extremely proficient
winemaking and judicious use of new oak (20% for whites and 25% for reds) make
for beautifully crafted, ripe, intense, sensual wines which have the class to
belie their origins.
