JF Jacouton

Grandson of a local winegrower, Jean-François Jacouton founded this small five-hectare domaine in 2010 in Vion to the north of the town of Tournon. He has only recently been joined by his son Hugo.
The steep, terraced vineyards need a lot of hard work, necessitating all viticultural work to be done by hand, as tractors and machines can’t get anywhere near the vertiginous slopes. The view down on the Rhône river valley from these granite stony hills is simply breathtaking. Sun, stone and Rhône combine to produce ripe fruits with a lot of minerality, fragrance and freshness. A small family producer passionate about his terroir and his native land, Jean-François ticks all the boxes to merit joining Wine Story’s family.

JF Jacouton, Granit, Viognier
JF Jacouton, Granit, Viognier

100% Viognier at 350 meters of altitude

50% of the wine is aged 8 months in barrels on its fine lies.


The granite soil (hence the name of the Cuvée), brings a mineral coolness to this wine which takes from its IGP appellation “vin de Pays” only the name. For sure it’s a great wine in the same league as many Condrieu.


Jancis Robinson: "Banana ice-cream and pineapple with a sweet musky character - overdelivers on the nose. Lovely buttery notes on the palate, buffed and polished to a perfectly round mouthfeel. Lighter than many Rhône Viogniers, but no dilution of flavour. Expertly done - very good." 17 points

JF Jacouton, St Joseph, Chemin de St Epine




    





































JF Jacouton, St Joseph, Chemin de St Epine




100% Syrah, 50% of the wine is aged in barrels.


The Cuvee Sainte-Epine in St-Jean-de-Muzols, named after the most famous plot of vine in all the Saint-Joseph red appellation, it is shared with other renowed domains such as the brothers Gonon who purchased it in the mid 2000s from the iconic retiring Raymond Trollat. After rented a small parcel (equivalent of 3 barrels) for few years Jean-Francois just purchased it with his son Hugo.



Very ripe black fruits, velvity tannins (the Jacouton signature) with a full-bodied palate. Grand vin, testimony of top French Northern Rhone Syrah.

JF Jacouton, Condrieu




100% Viognier
There are now plantings of Viognier in Languedoc and even in various other countries but this grape’s spiritual homeland is in Condrieu – where the finest Viogniers are produced from just over 100 hectares of vineyards. The wines are dry with a wonderful floral nose of peaches, apricots, violets and pears with low acidity.
