Tasting notes
It has a dark color, a powerful bouquet with notes of black fruit and is generous and ample on the palate with attractive texture, while displaying pleasant spicy aromas. Clos des Jacobins is a model of complexity, balance and is extremely consistent.
History
Clos des Jacobins is situated at the entrance to the medieval town, right in the heart of the great Saint-Emilion estates.
Since the 17th century, this especially uniform vineyard forms a single plot around the cellars, it lies at the foot of the hill, and therefore benefits from the natural erosion of the plateau, which mixes limestone fragments with the clay. This location, coupled with its southern orientation, makes for a terroir that is early cropping and generous.
