The estate takes its name from the Jacobins convent (the name once given to the Dominican order) installed in the 13th century in the heart of Saint-Émilion.
The 2019 vintage is composed of 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot. It was aged for 12-15 months in oak barrels, 45% new. The wine offers aromas of black fruits, vanilla, toasted bread, as well as spicy notes (cumin, sandalwood, cloves). A rich and opulent wine with a lot of freshness and tension.
Le Couvent des Jacobins is a family affair: in 1902, Jean Jean, a winegrower in Saint-Émilion, bought the property. It is his great-great-grandson Xavier who today perpetuates the tradition of the Grand Cru Classé, adding a touch of innovation. In September 2020, the estate obtained the "Organic Agriculture" certification by Ecocert France. The vineyard comprises 10.7 hectares on four parcels.
