The Louis Jadot Chateau des Jacques Fleurie exudes dark fruit and floral aromas with hints of ground coffee. Bold and expansive on the palate, the flavor evolution is shaped by substantial yet fine tannins and tangy acidity over the long finish. This is a Cru Beaujolais assembled from several great parcels within the Fleurie appellation. These are sites at high altitude (above 300 meters) and with light soils of decomposed pink granite. All fruit is manually harvested, rigorously sorted, fermented with natural yeasts, and aged in concrete vats and oak barrels for 10 months.
Wine Advocate: 91 Points
Aromas of sweet cherries, raspberries, plums and licorice preface the 2020 Fleurie from the Château des Jacques, a medium-bodied, rich and concentrated wine with tangy acids, powdery tannins and a nicely balanced profile. It's a blend of around three-quarters lieu-dit Bel-Air and one-quarter Grille Midi.
