Slottet – eller rettere sagt klosteret - har en historie, der går helt tilbage til de 13. årh., hvor Jacobins-broderskabet slog sig ned og skabte et hjemsted for pilgrimme på flugt. Det er også en af grundende til, at der på etiketten anføres ”<em>mis en bouteille au couvent” </em>i stedet for<em> ”château”, </em>hvilket er ganske enestående.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 14px;">Godt 700 år senere har Couvent de Jacobins vinstokke på 69 parceller, der er fordelt over 4 plots. Et af dem ligger sågar som nabo til 1. Cru Ausone. Den store spredning af markerne er også med til at give vinene stor kompleksitet, da der er hele 14 forskellige typer jordbund under vinstokkene. Samtidig er deres relativt høje andel af Cabernet Franc et særsyn i St-Emilion, hvilket er med til at skille vinene ud fra mængden med deres skønne krydrede friskhed, der går perfekt i spænd med den runde og saftige Merlot-frugt.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 14px;">Fra årgang 2020 er vinen certificeret økologisk. </span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 14px;">Ved køb af 6 flasker leveres vinen i original trækasse.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>Anmeldelser af Couvent des Jacobins Saint Emilion Grand Cru Classé 2020</strong></span></h2> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><em><strong>95-96/100 Bernard Burtschy</strong></em></span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><em><strong>95/100 James Suckling</strong></em></span><br /><em>“Dark chocolate, bark, dried flowers, cherries, walnuts, crushed stones and orange zest on the nose. Graphite, too. Textured, mineral and expansive with a full body and firm, chalky tannins. Broad yet focused. I like the cool freshness at the end. Best yet? From organically grown grapes.”</em></p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><em>93-95/100 Y.

Supple in texture, with layers of silky, fresh, sweet black cherries and chocolate, this is going to be delicious on release, and it has the stuff to age as well. This is easily the finest vintage of Couvent des Jacobins produced yet."</em></p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><em><strong>93/100 Robert Parker</strong></em></span><em><br />“The 2020 Couvent des Jacobins bursts with aromas of minty blackberries, plums, incense and rose petals, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and charming palate that's framed by powdery tannins. A gourmand, seamless wine, this will offer a broad drinking window”</em></p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><em><strong>93/100 Tastingbook.com</strong></em></span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><em><strong>93/100 Markus Del Monego MW</strong></em></span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><em><strong>93/100 Falstaff</strong><span style="color: #000000;"><br />"Dark ruby garnet, violet reflections, subtle ocher edge lightening. There are nuances of ripe plums, blackberry jam, fine nuances of precious wood, candied orange zest, some nougat caramel and vanilla. Juicy, elegant, fine fruit sweetness, ripe tannins, mineral and firm finish, lingers well, a food companion with aging potential."</span></em></span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><em><strong>92/100 Decanter</strong></em></span><em><br />“This takes a severe tone for the opening beats, a little austere with tannins standing to attention, but there is a ton of flavour as it opens, with cocoa beans and cigar box, black pepper spice and a creamy cassis and raspberry fruit through the mid palate. A yield of 32hl/ha. Organic certified as of this vintage. Tasted twice.</em></p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><em><strong>92/100 Jeb Dunnuck</strong></em></span><em><br />“A meaty, beefy, spicy wine based on 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Petit Verdot, the 2020 Couvent Des Jacobins offers up plenty of savory red and blue fruits to go with medium-bodied richness, good mid-palate density, building tannins, and rock-solid length on the finish. While it’s savory and slightly evolved aromatically, I love its purity and freshness on the palate, and my money is on this easily being an outstanding wine once bottled.”</em></p> <p style="margin-top: 0cm; background: white;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #212529;">Vinen passer fremragende til oksekød, lammebøffer, andeconfit, vildt, charcuteri og modne oste.
