{"title":"Chateau des Jacques","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is one of the great historic Moulin-a-Vent estates that was making wine back when it was worth more than Vosne Romanee. They are still making wine, but now under the watchful eye of their owners in Burgundy, Louis Jadot, who bought the Chateau in 1996. Before 1996, no Burgundy producer had ever bothered to expand here. Since Jadot blazed this trail, a number of Burgundians have started to head south, where the land remains far cheaper -- including the great Volnay domaine of Michel Lafarge. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Jacques style is paradigmatic Moulin: long-lived and Burgundy-like. In fact, the winemaking here is much closer to what you'd find at a typical Burgundy estate than down the road at, say, Diochon. There are longer macerations and extended aging in oak barrels, for example. The result is that these really are wines that require aging. (Unlike Diochon, which can be pretty delicious on release.)\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/sf.flatiron-wines.com\/collections\/chateau-des-jacques.oembed","provider":"Flatiron SF","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
