Description

The refinement and balance of a superb Grand Cru from Saint-Émilion

The estate

Prestigious reference of the Saint-Émilion appellation, the Clos des Jacobins takes its name from the Benedictine preachers who welcomed pilgrims on the routes of Santiago de Compostela. Since 2004, Clos des Jacobins has been owned by Thibaut and Magali Decoster.

The vineyard

Since the 17th century, the 8.5-hectare vineyard of this Grand Cru Classé has been one contiguous parcel in the heart of the great terroirs of Saint-Émilion. Located at the foot of the slope with excellent south-facing exposure, the vines, averaging 30 years old, are planted on a superb limestone terroir. The vineyard is managed under sustainable farming practices.

Vinification and ageing

Hand-harvested, the grapes are manually sorted. Maceration then vinification accompanied by punch-downs and rack-and-returns. 31-day maceration. Malolactic fermentation in new oak barrels and wood vats. Ageing for 18 months in oak barrels, 65 % of which are new.

Blend

The 2014 Clos des Jacobins is the result of a blend of Merlot (80 %), Cabernet Franc (18 %) and Cabernet Sauvignon (2 %).
