Couvent des Jacobins 2020 - Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé
€38.00
Tax included
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. A complex, powerful wine with elegance and length on the palate.
"Dressed in a deep garnet-purple colour, it brings out aromas of cooked blackberry, black cherry jam and plum compote, as well as hints of damp earth, espresso and liquorice with a hint of wild mushrooms. The medium to full-bodied palate is taut, with generous black fruit flavours interwoven with mineral tones and hints of exotic spices. The whole is supported by grainy tannins, great freshness and a very energetic finish. Drinking window: 2027 to 2042. Score - 92-94. "
Lisa Perrotti-Brown, MW, robertparker.com
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.
