Chateau Jacquet is a family property located in the village of Targon in the heart of the Entre-Deux-Mers region, south east of the city of Bordeaux. The Barthe family has owned the estate since 1789. Today, the vineyards and winemaking are under the control of Veronique Barthe, who has been acclaimed as one of the top young winemakers in Bordeaux. She is responsible for the revitalization of the property just over 10 years ago. The vineyards have been restructured with increased respect for the environment’s natural balance. She installed modern vinification and aging equipment. Today, their entire production is estate bottled and is sold around the world.

The clay-limestone soil of the rolling hill terrain, and the average vine age of 25 years, with many still older Semillon and Muscadelle plants, ensures fully ripe grapes. Chateau Jacquet is vinified in temperature-controlled, stainless steel tanks. Temperatures do not exceed 19 degrees Centigrade to preserve the fruit’s aromas and vivid fruit flavors. Chateau Jacquet sees one day of skin maceration at the beginning of fermentation and then aging on the fine lees before bottling to allow the fruit to express all of its complexity and length.

Such meticulous winemaking makes Chateau Jacquet an outstanding value. Its crisp, zesty citrus and melon flavors allow the wine to serve as a refreshing aperitif or with salads, lighter pastas, Thai cuisine, and seafood. It is bottled with a state-of-the-art screw cap in order to ensure that the wine retains all of its freshness.
