Le Menut des Jacobins
St. Emilion Red Bordeaux Blend
St. Émilion, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
2022 vintage. Couvent des Jacobins has been making great wines for decades, but the recent wines are even better. This second wine is absolutely gorgeous and could be a Cru Classé in its own right. Beautiful nose with red fruit (raspberry, strawberry), flowers and a subtle hint of cedar. Impeccable purity of concentrated fruit, with freshness and velvety tannins. Perfectly integrated oak.Uncommon depth for a second wine. Long finish. Impressive. Abv. 14,5%.

Sep 8th, 20242019 vintage. Another great second wine from Cru Classé Couvent des Jacobins. Elegance, purity of fruit, velvety tannin, freshness, and very good length. This definitely has some of the class of the grand vin, in a more immediately approachable style. Abv. 14,5%.

Dec 15th, 20232015 vintage. The second wine of Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé Couvent des Jacobins is very impressive. Delicious floral perfume, mixed with blackberry and subtle oak. Good concentration, layered and fresh, with a serious tannic backbone that gives this wine a certain classy firmness that suggests it will still gain from further bottle ageing. It has a lovely old school Saint-Emilion feel about it.
