Description
Monsieur Jacques is a white Burgundy from Julien and Sébastien Pacaud, created in tribute to their uncle. Sourced from vineyards in the communes of Leynes and Saint-Amour, it is a Chardonnay harvested by hand in whole bunches and taken directly to the press. Vinified without sulphur and using indigenous yeasts, aged on fine lees for 9 months in stainless steel and concrete vats. Delicate, supple and balanced, the citrus aromas finish with a hint of bitterness that contributes to the wine’s freshness. The ideal companion for an aperitif with fried whitebait, parsley ham or a few snails.
