Couvent des Jacobins 2024 – Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, Grand Cru Classé

The nose is elegant, airy, it offers a certain concentration of fruit, depth, tension and a lovely, precise, elegant, fine, racy grain. It reveals notes of boysenberry, fairly ripe wild cherry and small notes of pulpy cassis, associated with touches of cornflower, small ripe fruits, as well as a hint of sweet pepper. The palate is fruity, juicy, it offers a tangy frame, minerality, good definition, a certain juiciness, precision, energy and fine crunchy. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of juicy/fresh cassis, violet and small notes of juicy/fresh blackberry, combined with touches of cherry blossom, crunchy red plum, as well as hints of small wild fruits, nutmeg, sweet spices, sweet tobacco, maceron and a subtle hint of clove in the background. Good length. The tannins are sapid and gourmand. A subtle hint of cocoa on the persistence. A wine offering juiciness, suppleness, suavity, energy and a little straightness. Good persistence.
