Nicolas Jacob was born and raised in the Jura, and after gaining experience with Laurent Macle of the esteemed Domaine Macle followed by a stint with Jean-Francois Ganevat, ventured out on his own in 2015 with a single hectare of vines in l'Etoile. He now has around 5 hectares of Chardonnay, Savagnin, Pinot Noir, Poulsard and Trousseau, all of which are farmed with minimal intervention.
