A full-bodied and delicate Red wine from Saint-Émilion
The estate
A prestigious reference in the Saint-Émilion appellation, the Clos des Jacobins takes its name in reference to the Benedictine preaching monks who welcomed pilgrims on the pilgrimage routes to Santiago de Compostela. Since 2004, Clos des Jacobins has been owned by Thibaut and Magali Decoster.
The vineyard
Since the 17th century, this 8.3-hectare Grand Cru Classé vineyard has been a single contiguous block at the heart of the great terroirs of Saint-Émilion. Situated at the foot of the slope with excellent southern exposure, the vines, averaging 30 years of age, are planted on a very fine limestone terroir. The vineyard is managed under sustainable viticulture practices.
Winemaking and ageing
Hand-harvested, the grapes are manually sorted. Maceration followed by vinification with punch-downs and rack-and-returns. Malolactic fermentation in new barrels and wooden vats. Aged for 18 months in oak barrels, 65% of which are new.
Blend
The Clos des Jacobins 2019 is the result of a blend of Merlot (80%), Cabernet Franc (18%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (2%).
