This wine is dry, lively and fresh, very appealing on the nose showing hints of exotic fruits and white flowers. This white Beaujolais is at the same time voluptuous and very fresh. It is the best companion to fish tartar, shellfish but also to goat cheese from Beaujolais and Mâconnais.
Louis Jadot Description
Cultivated 5 minutes drive away from Château des Jacques, just a few kilometers away from Mâcon, Saint Vérand and Pouilly-Fuissé appellations, this chardonnay comes from Clos de Loyse, a plot of 10 hectares. The land and castle opposite were a medieval stronghold, belonging to the Barons of Loyse. In 1643 these lands where passed-on to Chartreux Monks who built the walls and dug ditches around the plot to protect it and improve drainage, and planted Chardonnay instead of the original gamay vines. This terroir offers a particularly fruity expression of Chardonnay, on soil of ancient foothill deposits placed on granite bedrock.
Daniel Hernandez-Brun for K&D: 91 Points
The 2023 Chateau des Jacques Beaujolais Blanc was vinified on the lees in stainless steel vats. It is a pale straw in color with a youthful green hue at the rim, and expresses a very aromatic bouquet of honeysuckle, white peach, pear, and heather. It is medium-bodied, with a lovely creamy texture and a persistent limestone note, with zippy acidity and a saline, chalky finish.
