Château Clos des Jacobins – Saint-Émilion Grand Cru – Red – 2022:

 

The Epitome of Right Bank Grand Cru Classé

Clos des Jacobins stands as a reference for elegance, power, and balance in Saint-Émilion. Located on exceptional clay-limestone slopes, this Grand Cru Classé has a history dating back to the 17th century, owned by the Magali & Thibaut Decoster family since 2004.

Tasting Notes (Classic Profile)

• Color: Deep, vibrant garnet.
• Nose: Complex and racy, featuring intense aromas of ripe black fruits (cassis, blackberry), intertwined with signature notes of graphite, dark chocolate, and the subtle spice of high-quality new oak.
• Palate: Full-bodied and rich, the attack is suave and plush, leading to a core of fine, structured tannins. The meticulous aging process ensures a velvety texture and a remarkably long, polished finish.

Pairing & Service

With a blend dominated by Merlot (80%), Cabernet Franc (18%), and a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon (2%), this wine is built for the cellar and the table. Serve between 60-64°F (15.5-18°C). A one-hour decant is suggested to allow the wine’s full aromatic spectrum to open up, making it a perfect match for rich, savory dishes.
