A single vineyard. A timeless windmill. A wine that wears its nobility with effortless grace.
At the very heart of the Moulin-à-Vent cru lies Clos de Rochegrès, a celebrated monopole owned by Château des Jacques. Protected by stone walls and rooted in granite soils streaked with quartz, this vineyard is the beating heart of the estate — a place where Gamay reveals its fullest, most profound expression.
The Clos de Rochegrès is no ordinary Beaujolais. It is a wine that carries itself with aristocratic bearing, offering depth, structure, and an ability to age that rivals fine Burgundy. Aromas of black cherry, ripe blackberry, violet, and subtle spice lead into a palate that is both powerful and refined, with polished tannins and a mineral edge that lingers long after each sip.
It is a wine for moments that matter — whether it’s shared over a festive Irish table, cellared for years to mark an anniversary, or poured on a quiet evening when only something truly special will do. Clos de Rochegrès is Beaujolais elevated to the sublime.
Why we love it:
Because it’s not just a wine, but a singular vineyard story — a monopole that distills the essence of Moulin-à-Vent into each bottle. Structured, age-worthy, and full of character, it’s a piece of Beaujolais history you can bring to Ireland.
