2023 Château Couvent de Jacobins

The 2023 Couvent des Jacobins is an elegant, silky Saint-Émilion. Crushed flowers, spice, lavender and mint are some of the many notes that flesh out. Succulent contours and lifted, floral overtones wrap it all together. This stylish Saint-Émilion is all charm. Tasted two times. - By Antonio Galloni (04/2024)

Density and fullness to this, but at the same time it is tight and formed with creamy tannins that envelop the wine. Medium to full body. Pretty blackberry and black-cherry character. Very pure. Well balanced, but so structured as well. Merlot with 11% cabernet franc and 5% petit verdot. Mostly limestone. Tasted twice. (04/2024)
