He completed a BTS in viticulture and oenology with a focus on organic farming in Montmorot, then trained under two Jura masters: Jean Macle in Château-Chalon and Jean-François Ganevat. In 2015, he embarked on his venture, buying plots in the terroirs of L'Étoile and Voiteur, in the southern Revermont. His estate, located in Cesancey, now covers 6 hectares (4.5 ha of white grapes, 1.5 ha of red grapes), mostly planted with Chardonnay and Savagnin, as well as Poulsard and Trousseau.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike his mentor Ganevat, Nicolas Jacob is firmly committed to a natural approach. His vines are cultivated using \u003cstrong\u003eorganic farming\u003c\/strong\u003e, and his winemaking is as natural as possible: spontaneous fermentations, with no added sulfur or other inputs. He vinifies each plot separately, creating a multitude of micro-cuvées, each expressing a terroir, a place and a grape variety. He practices long aging, aware of the importance of time in revealing the wines' complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConsidered one of the Jura's rising stars, Nicolas Jacob is praised for the precision, depth, finesse and tension of his wines.\u003c\/strong\u003e His first vintage, 2015, was bottled in 2017, and the estate expanded in 2019 with the purchase of a winery and several additional plots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"height: 301.2px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 53.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 44.7368%; height: 53.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: 75cl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 9.94152%; height: 53.6px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 44.7368%; height: 53.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Country: France\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 44.7368%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003eRegion: Jura\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 9.94152%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 44.7368%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFarming: \u003cspan class=\"st\"\u003eorganic 🌱\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 212px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 44.7368%; height: 212px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrape variety: Chardonnay\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 9.94152%; height: 212px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 44.7368%; height: 212px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTasting: meticulous craftsmanship with an extremely pleasing result and wines that are literally alive.
