Jacques Cacheux

Domaine Jacques Cacheux (Vosne-Romanée, Burgundy)

A quiet champion of Vosne-Romanée—celebrated for crafting intensely aromatic, silky, and fruit-driven Pinot Noirs with rich, classic spice.

Quick Facts for Consumers

  • Style: Expressive, velvety, and deeply aromatic. The wines boast intense red berry fruit (ripe cherry and raspberry) intertwined with classic Vosne spice, exotic floral notes, and a fine-grained, succulent texture that offers wonderful drinkability both young and aged.
  • Generational Heritage: The family has grown grapes in Vosne-Romanée since the early 1900s, but it was Jacques Cacheux who began estate-bottling in the 1950s. Today, his son Patrice Cacheux manages the domaine with the same commitment to traditional Burgundian craftsmanship.
  • Mastery of Micro-Terroirs: Rather than blending everything into a single village wine, Cacheux bottles distinct single-vineyard village expressions (such as Aux Ormes, Aux Reas, Aux Genaivrières, and Les Chalandins) to highlight the nuanced differences across Vosne's soils.
