A Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé of Exemplary Lineage

Clos des Jacobins, a historic Grand Cru Classé, is celebrated for its consistent quality and refined character. The estate, situated on the famous clay-limestone soils of Saint-Émilion, is a showcase of the Decoster family's dedication to modern winemaking while respecting classic Bordeaux tradition.

Tasting Notes (Classic Profile)

• Colour: Deep, intense garnet hue.
• Nose: An elegant and complex bouquet of concentrated ripe dark berries (blackcurrant, plum), layered with notes of cedar, tobacco leaf, and subtle mocha.
• Palate: Generous and powerful, yet beautifully balanced. It offers a smooth, ample mouthfeel, supported by firm, powdery tannins and a long, persistent finish that speaks to its excellent aging potential.

Food Match & Serving Suggestions

This Merlot-dominant blend (80% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Franc, 2% Cabernet Sauvignon) is a superb match for rich, hearty cuisine. Serve at cellar temperature, approximately 16°C. Decant for an hour before serving to soften the tannins and enhance the aromatic profile. This wine will continue to evolve gracefully in the bottle for many years.
