The Pinot Noir grapes for Bourgogne Rouge Couvent des Jacobins come from the entire Côte d'Or growing region with the Hautes Côtes de Beaune, the Hautes Côtes de Nuits, the Côte Chalonnaise and the Auxerrois.

The grape variety was specially highlighted on the label, because with Bourgogne Rouge it is by no means a given that there is a pure Pinot Noir in the bottle. AOC regulations allow the addition of Gamay and many winemakers blend their Pinot Noir with it.

The name Couvent des Jacobins is reminiscent of the old wine press in Beaune, which was once set up in the former Jacobin monastery. The historic building was later renovated and converted and is now used as an atmospheric setting for festive occasions. The Maison Louis Jadot, founded in 1859 by Louis Henry Denis Jadot, has its headquarters right next door.
