Nicolas Jacob
Originally from the Jura, Nicolas Jacob worked on several local organic vegetable farms before developing an interest in wine. During this time, Nicolas established an admirable knack for searching out the best mentors in the area. After spending time with Laurent Macle at Domaine Macle in Chateau Chalon, Nicolas found work in the vineyards with Jean-Francois Ganevat, where he eventually became the right-hand man at the Domaine. Here, Nicolas perfected his skills across all aspects of the Domaine, from vineyard work to vinification. In 2015, Jacob purchased just over 1 hectare of vines in L'Etoile, planted to Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and a bit of Savagnin, and began to develop his own style (which is clearly inspired by his time chez Ganevat).
As expected, the norm is natural fermentation, minimal use of SO2, long aging, and a slightly confounding preference for a multitude of exceptional micro-cuvees based on variations in the terroir. In 2019, Jacob fully ventured out on his own and acquired a small winery in Cesancey and 5+ hectares of vines in the surrounding area, including a 3.5-hectare block in Augea and one hectare in Rotalier.
