Domaine du Couvent

Clos du Meix des Ouches Monopole Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir 2020

Gentle and calm aroma with concentration and forest like. Solid structure. Plum, blueberry. Tannic. Acidic. Enough decanting like 2 hours is necessary. 2020 @2800, domaine, 230701 — a year ago

Domaine Capmartin

Cuvée du Couvent Tannat 2015

Vintage 2915 | Biowine. Obvious very young, dark colour with redbrown rim. I was attracted by the beautiful smell with many layers: pencil shaving, leather, tobacco and even roses. Way too young to be drunk but the potential is very clear. To put away in the cellar, far away in a cellar. — 3 years ago

Château Ksara

Reserve du Couvent Bekaa Valley Syrah Blend 2019

Calicem

Grand Cru Saint-Emilion Merlot 2019

2019 vintage Saint-Emilion Grand Cru. Calicem is produced from a small vineyard (less than one hectare) adjacent to Grand Cru Classé Couvent des Jacobins whose owner bought it in 2015. It was planted in 1961/1962 with 100% Merlot from old clones.and it is vinified separately from Couvent des Jacobins (first vintage 2015).This beautiful 2019 is made in microscopic quantities (2188 bottles) with the "vinification intégrale" method which leads to a more gentle extraction and better wood integration. Winemaker Denis Pomarède and consulting oenologist Thomas Duclos did a great job in crafting a beautifully balanced wine with extraordinary elegance, purity, silky tannins and a long finish with an intriguing minerality. Don't expect a blockbuster, this is all about subtlety. Very impressive Saint-Emilion of Premier Grand Cru Classé quality, well worth trying to grab a bottle. Abv. 14,5 %. — 3 years ago
