Domaine Jacob

The picturesque little village of Échevronne is tucked away up a half-forgotten valley a few kilometres northwest of Beaune. This is a ravishing spot, a bit of Jura-like country where the vineyards are interspersed by wildflower meadows beneath the gentle crags. One third of the 250 villagers earns their living from the vine. The most famous man around here is Lucien Jacob, one-time Deputé for the Côte d'Or at the National Assembly in Paris. A dynamic man, he managed to combine his national duties with a passionate crusade to improve the quality and reputation of the wines of the Hautes Côtes de Beaune.

Lucien retired in 1989, handing over the running of the domaine to his daughter Chantal and his son Jean-Michel, who have built on their father's high reputation and have added their own blend of youthful enthusiasm and New World experience to the wines. Chantal studied oenology in Beaune and the USA, and Jean-Michel studied agriculture in Paris followed by experience (including sheep shearing!) in New Zealand and Australia. On his way home to Beaune in 1987 he stopped off in Hong Kong where he met Christine, a young English lawyer, now his wife. All three work full time at the domaine.

Just round the corner from the domaine, the Jacobs have a large gîte which is available for rent by Partners.
