The Morgon appellation was created on September 11th, 1936 and covers 1100 hectares, managed by 250 vignerons. Of all the Beaujolais Crus, Morgon displays perhaps the best ageing potential, whilst still representing good drinkability when young. The Cru is divided into 6 Climats which all face south to south east, and are from east to west: Grand Cras, Les Charmes, Côte du Py, Corcelette, Les Micouds and Douby. Louis Jadot purchased Chateau des Jacques in 1996, based in Moulin-a- Vent, and in 2001 they purchased a vineyard located on the northern slopes overlooking Morgon, facing south-south-east, and in the intervening years have retrained the vineyard from gobelot to cordon, and replants to 1.5 metre spacings.
