"Chateau des Jacques’s 2011 Moulin-a-Vent La Roche offers . . . purple plum and dark cherry tinged with nutmeg, toast, and mocha from barrel. Rich and caressing, it somehow (as usual for this domaine) manages to stay both creamily textured and persistently juicy despite elevage in all-new barriques. Nor does a sense of density preclude one of levity in this Gamay of barely over 13% alcohol. I miss the carnal and incisively mineral dimensions exhibited by the very best wines from this address, but there is a diffuse sense of stoniness helping perhaps to set-off the wine’s luscious finishing fruit."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
