Jacques Maillet

In 2003, Jacques Maillet vowed never again to make wines using conventional methods. He always had an interest in biodynamic and organic wines, but had been unable to secure a loan from the local co-op to do so. Because of this, he was forced to use synthetic chemicals when he started out in the early 1990s.

But this all changed in the year 2000, when Maillet was diagnosed with cancer, from which it took him three years to recover. He blamed his illness on the prolonged exposure to the chemicals he had been using on the land for around a decade, and that’s when he finally found a way to follow his dream of making wine using biodynamic techniques. 

The fruits of Maillet’s labour are some wonderful wines with great acidity and ageing potential, with the last vintage produced in 2015. Perfection in a glass.

Whether you've had them in the past, or you're curious to try them for the first time, we invite you to acquaint yourself with the wines of Jacques Maillet!
