Taste & Talk: Nicolas Jacob

Nicolas Jacob, one of Jura’s most promising talents, is joining us for this month instalment of our Taste & Talk series.

A region’s native, the young vigneron counts amongst his mentors Laurent Macle of Domain Macle and Jean-François Ganevat. Working alongside these local legends offered Nicolas the opportunity to perfect his skills, while finding his own voice as a grower and winemaker.

Today Nicolas in based Cesancey, in the region’s South, and farms more than five hectares of vineyards in the surrounding area. The vines are tended according to the principles of organic and biodynamic farming. In the cellar, the focus is on natural fermentations, long élevages and a host of micro-cuvées reflecting each terroir’s variation.

Join us to taste some exceptional wines alongside snacks from the kitchen, while Nicolas shares with us the practices and philosophies driving his work.
