Founded in 1891 in Romanèche-Thorins, Maison Jacoulot is one of Burgundy’s most respected distilleries. Renowned for its Marc de Bourgogne and Fine de Bourgogne, the house has spent more than a century preserving regional traditions while expanding into premium liqueurs, whisky and rum. Today, Jacoulot remains a benchmark for craftsmanship, ageing expertise and the authentic expression of Burgundy’s spirit heritage.
The Distillery
Located at the crossroads of Burgundy and Beaujolais, Maison Jacoulot sources grape pomace, fruits and botanicals from carefully selected growers. Its reputation was built on elevating Marc de Bourgogne from a traditional farm spirit into a refined and age-worthy eau-de-vie. Over generations, the distillery has expanded its range while maintaining a strong connection to local ingredients and artisanal production methods.
Distillation and Ageing
Jacoulot employs traditional copper stills and a meticulous extra égrappage process, removing grape stems before distillation to create greater purity, finesse and fruit expression. Ageing takes place in carefully selected oak barrels, allowing the spirits to develop complexity, texture and depth. This patient approach has become a hallmark of the house’s style across its entire portfolio.
Craftsmanship and Innovation
Alongside its celebrated Marc and Fine de Bourgogne, Maison Jacoulot produces a range of premium fruit liqueurs, including Crème de Cassis and Limoncello. More recently, the distillery has expanded into whisky and rum, applying its expertise in barrel maturation to create spirits with a distinctive Burgundian character. Innovation remains grounded in a respect for tradition and regional identity.
Commitment to Sustainability
Maison Jacoulot prioritizes responsible sourcing and environmentally conscious production. Local raw materials, careful resource management and sustainable packaging initiatives help reduce the environmental impact of the distillery while supporting the agricultural communities that have long been part of its history.
