Discover the exceptional character of Les Jacques Syrah, crafted exclusively from 100% Syrah grapes sourced from the prestigious Beaujolais region. Showcasing a unique and distinctive style, this wine epitomises the remarkable potential of well-made Cru Beaujolais. The meticulously managed vineyard, part of the esteemed Chateau des Jacques estate in Moulin a Vent, benefits from a rich tapestry of six different vineyard plots - or 'clos' - all vinified separately to achieve the utmost expression of terroir. This dedication to detail ensures a wine of unrivalled quality and complexity.
Expert winemaking is the hallmark of Les Jacques Syrah. Grapes are carefully de-stemmed and crushed before fermentation, then matured in barrel to enhance depth and character. The result is a harmonious balance of rich fruit and structural elegance, perfectly suited to both immediate enjoyment and further development in the bottle. Pair it with classic dishes such as Boeuf Bourguignonnes for a truly memorable dining experience.
