Description

The balance and elegance of a Grand Cru Classé from Saint-Émilion

The estate

Prestigious reference of the Saint-Émilion appellation, the Clos des Jacobins takes its name from the Benedictine preaching monks who welcomed pilgrims on the paths of St-Jacques de Compostelle. Since 2004, the Clos des Jacobins has been owned by Thibaut and Magali Decoster.

The vineyard

Since the 17th century, the 8.3-hectare vineyard of this Grand Cru Classé has remained a single plot at the heart of the great terroirs of Saint-Émilion. Located at the foot of the slope with excellent southern exposure, the vines, averaging 30 years old, are planted on a very large limestone terroir. The vineyard is managed using sustainable agriculture practices.

Blend

Merlot (80 %), Cabernet Franc (18 %) and Cabernet Sauvignon (2 %)

Tasting notes and recommendations for Clos des Jacobins 2018

Tasting

Color
Intense, dense and deep purple color.

Nose
Very expressive, the nose offers mature, pure fruit with black fruit notes evoking cherry and blueberry. Menthol and licorice notes appear, along with beautiful mineral notes.

Palate
On the palate, the wine develops with liveliness, tension and richness animated by crisp, juicy fruit. Silky, the palate unfolds an elegant structure with perfectly integrated tannins. With freshness and vitality, the finish lingers long.
