Overview

Named after Thierry Michon’s grandfather, Cuvée Jacques is a cuvée of Pinot Noir from schist soils with southwestern exposure. These parcels benefit from more sunlight and greater exposure to the persistent, cool maritime winds from the Atlantic. Jacques is a silky, dark, and spicy wine with hints of herbs and leather perfectly suited to meat and game.
