The property

In 2010, Jean-François Jacouton created his cellar after having gained experience in different regions and his apprenticeship with one of the great winegrowers of the northern Côtes du Rhône such as "Le Domaine Courbis". Help in these beginnings by Maurice Courbis for the purchase of vines and Joël Durand for the vinification. He will first recover the vines of his grandfather André who is a few kilometers from Tournon. Then now, he works 6 hectares of vines without weed killer on several appellations, the main one being Saint Joseph. Since the creation of the estate, its philosophy has been to produce more sustainably and in a reasoned way.

The vineyard

Vineyard

Resulting from a plot selection on the slopes of Vion. The twenty-something-year-old vines are planted on hillsides with granite soil.

Grape varieties

50% Marsanne and 50% Roussanne - AOP Saint Joseph White

Vinification and aging

Harvested by hand, 100% whole harvest, aging on fine lees and in barrels for 10 months.

Tasting

The robe

Beautiful straw yellow color with limpid reflections.

The nose

A frank and complex bouquet with notes of white flowers and a salivating mineral touch. 

The taste

A wine with finesse and a structure that coats the palate. We find the notes of white flower and a nice salinity at the end of the mouth.

The Sommelier's little extra

One that in its youth will go very well with perch fillets or sole manner. And with time, a beautiful poultry with truffles.
