All picking at Château des Jacques is done by hand. The grapes for Louis Jadot Moulin A Vent Chateau des Jacques are left on the vine to ripen for as long as possible. Picked and sorted by hand, and often de-stemmed, the grapes macerate slowly over the course of three or four weeks. Both pigeage and pumping take place during the fermentation period depending on the vintage characteristics. The wines are aged for 10 months in concrete tank and in oak barrels, in our historic cellar. The oak used to make the barrels comes from the forests of Allier, Limousin and Nivernais.

Also available in 75cl bottles.
