 Clos des Jacobins (Zweitwein Prieur des Jacobins) besitzt nicht weit von St. Emilion entfernt 8,5 Hektar grosse Weinberge. Wenn Sie ins Dorf hineinfahren, sehen Sie sie rechter Hand. Die Reben wachsen auf einem Boden aus Ton, Sand und Kalkstein. Im Schnitt sind die Pflanzen rund 40 Jahre alt, Clos des Jacobins verfügt aber auch über ein paar Prachtexemplare, die bereits mehr als 90 Jahre auf dem Buckel haben. Die Cuvée besteht zu 75% aus Merlot, 23% Cabernet Franc und 2% Cabernet Sauvignon. Bereits in jungen Jahren bietet sie großes Trinkvergnügen.
17 WEINWISSER: "Undurchsichtiges Purpur. Berauschendes Bouquet mit Pflaumenkompott und Brombeergelee, dahinter Cassislikör, helles Malz und Lakritze. Am kräftigen Gaumen mit muskulösem Körper und dicht umspanntem Tanninkorsett, fein kernige Noten. Im gebündelten Finale getrocknete schwarze Beeren, Wacholder, endet mit fein sandigem Extrakt. Auf dem gleichen Niveau wie der grossartige 2016er!"
94 DECANTER: "Rich and deep black berry fruit flavours on display, well balanced, notably closing in through the mid palate. The tannins are enrobed with silk, and this is a precise wine with careful extraction. Black chocolate notes, a little bitter right now, add to the feel of a classic St Emilion that is successfully judging the line between glamour and drinkability. Magali and Thibault Decoster since 2005. 75% new oak."
92-93 JAMES SUCKLING: "This is a tight, focused young Bordeaux with dark-chocolate, currant and walnut character. It’s medium-to full-bodied with a lively finish. Some minerals and black tea, too. Very typical."
92-94 ANTONIO GALLONI: "The 2019 Couvent des Jacobins was picked at 38hl/ha from 19 September, finishing with the Petit Verdot on 9 October and matured in 45% new oak. It has a crisp and delineated bouquet with blackberry and raspberry scents, a discrete rose petal element that emerges with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, the prudent use of new oak allowing the terroir to come through. I particularly appreciate the pepperiness and texture on the finish. This is an excellent Saint-Émilion that should offer 20+ years´ drinking pleasure." - Neal Martin
90-92 ANTONIO GALLONI: "The 2019 Clos des Jacobins has a very ripe bouquet with raisin and dates infusing the black fruit, opulent and just maybe showing a little sur-maturité. The palate is better with saturated tannins that lend this a silky smooth texture. The oak sticks out at the moment and will need time to be subsumed. There is just a little bit of alcohol evident on the finish. It might well pull together to become a fine Saint-Émilion, but I will be quite prudent for now."
90-92 THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Fruity, lush, round and rich, with loads of ripe dark berries, chocolate, espresso and licorice, the wine offers a lot of pleasure in every sniff and sip."
