Jacquinot & Fils

A family history that has its roots in the 17th century,

when the Jacquinot family began cultivating vines in the

Épernay region. However, it was in 1918 that Pierre Jacquinot,

in parallel with his activity as courtier en raisin and merchant

of wines, gave new impetus to the family vineyard.

In 1929 he installed his first proprietary wine press and began winemaking

on his own. In 1947, together with his sons Jacques and Jean-Guy, he founded

officially Champagne Jacquinot & Fils, based in the historic

quarries in Épernay. Jacques devotes himself to commercial development,

while Jean-Guy concentrates on expanding the vineyard and on the

oenological quality.

Today, the company is led by Jean-Manuel Jacquinot, oenologist and

son of Jean-Guy, assisted by François Nicolet, son-in-law of

Jacques. The domaine has 17 hectares of vineyards conducted according to the

principles of reasoned viticulture, to guarantee healthy grapes of high

quality.

The three classic Champagne grape varieties - Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and

Pinot Meunier - are cultivated with care throughout the growing

vegetative cycle, under the careful control of the Maison's technicians. The

harvest, strictly by hand, is followed by the

pressing, still carried out with the press installed in 1929,

a symbol of continuity between tradition and modernity.
