About this product

Where Beaujolais finds its soul. A Morgon that whispers of ancient soils and timeless celebrations.
In the rolling hills of Beaujolais, where granite soils meet centuries of tradition, Château des Jacques crafts wines with the elegance of Burgundy and the heart of Beaujolais. Among its treasures lies Morgon, one of the region’s most noble crus, known for wines that not only delight in youth but also age with surprising grace.

This Morgon is no simple Beaujolais — it carries an almost Burgundian depth, with a structure and complexity that invite slow appreciation. Gamay, when nurtured in the Morgon terroir, becomes something extraordinary: darker, richer, with whispers of spice and a velvety texture. Here, fruit meets finesse — a wine that feels at once joyous and contemplative, like a story told by the fire on a long Irish evening.

On the nose, it reveals ripe cherries, blackberries, violets, and a touch of earthiness, a reminder of the granite soils where the vines root deep. On the palate, it balances succulent fruit with fine tannins, unfolding gradually into a silky, lingering finish. This is a wine that speaks of its place, of patience, and of the beauty found in harmony.

Why we love it:
Because Morgon is Beaujolais with gravitas — expressive yet elegant, vibrant yet profound. It offers a taste of French tradition that resonates beautifully in Ireland, where fine wine and convivial gatherings are treasured.

Founded in the 18th century and now part of the Maison Louis Jadot family, Château des Jacques is one of the estates that elevated Beaujolais beyond simple bistro wines. By nurturing Gamay with the same respect as Pinot Noir in Burgundy, they create wines of structure, depth, and nobility — bottles that bridge history and modern pleasure.
