Champagne Jacquinot & Fils
6th April 2014
Champagne Jacquinot et Fils has been producing wines for over 80 years and additionally provides grapes to Moët & Chandon from their vineyards in the Côte des Bar.
The estate dates back to the French revolution and we have some photographs of the harvest in 1896. Pierre Jacquinot developed the family vineyard just after first world war, at the same time becoming a grape broker and Champagne wine merchant.
In 1929 Pierre Jacquinot set up his own pressing centre and started to make wine.
In 1947 with his 2 sons Jacques and Jean-Guy he created the brand Champagne Jacquinot et Fils. The family business was set up in the Epernay cellar. Jacques Jacquinot looked after sales and Jean-Guy developed the vineyard which today covers 17 ha and makes wines of the highest quality.
Jean-Manuel Jacquinot, Jean-Guy’s son, Oenologist, trained away from the family firm in some of the big Houses and has been in charge of production at Jacquinot & Fils since 1998 with the help of François Nicolet, Jacques’s son- in-law.
Our grapes are pressed gently on the original press installed in 1929.
