i. Biography
His love of the job traces back to his father, who passed on more than practical advice: he showed Christophe Jacquod that working outdoors could be rewarding, and that a life shaped by weather, seasons, and patient labor could still be a happy one. That early lesson seems to have settled deep, giving Jacquod’s work a grounded, elemental quality that runs through everything he does.
Coming Up
Christophe Jacquod trained at Changins School of Viticulture and Oenology, where the discipline of the craft and the precision of the cellar would have met the larger rhythms of the vineyard. It is an education that speaks to both rigor and instinct, the kind of formation that prepares a winemaker not only to make decisions, but to listen closely—to the grapes, to the land, to the year’s shifting conditions. Today, Christophe is winemaker of Cave Christophe Jacquod, where that training and that inherited respect for outdoor labor come together in a practice defined by care, continuity, and close attention.
Where They Are Now
As winemaker of Cave Christophe Jacquod, Christophe Jacquod works in a world where detail matters and each vintage carries its own temperament. His path is rooted in the vineyard, but his role extends into the quiet, exacting craft of shaping wines that express their place with clarity. There is a sense of steadiness in this work, a patient accumulation of knowledge drawn from experience, from the schoolroom to the open air, from the cellar to the rows outside. The result is a profile shaped less by flash than by consistency, by the confidence that comes from doing the work well, season after season.
Signature
Christophe's signature wines include Fendant 2025, Johannisberg 2024, Pinot Blanc 2025, Petite Arvine 2025, and Dôle Blanche 2023. Together, they sketch a portrait of a winemaker attentive to range and balance, with each bottle carrying its own expression while remaining part of the same larger hand. Fendant 2025, Johannisberg 2024, Pinot Blanc 2025, Petite Arvine 2025, and Dôle Blanche 2023 form a concise signature: precise, varied, and anchored in the same disciplined approach that defines Christophe Jacquod’s work. In the end, his wines feel like an extension of that formative lesson from his father—proof that a life spent outdoors, in conversation with the land, can yield not only beauty, but fulfillment as well.
