This is a beautifully pure and bright Clos des Jacobins with a purple theme throughout. The nose is violet-tinged, the juiciness is clean and resonant, and there are no green notes or indeed oaky tones that stick out. Smooth and elegant the fruit glides across the palate, and the experience is medium-weight, forward-drinking and delightfully balanced. 17

A solid wine that builds on the palate, with depth and length. Not the biggest wine, but I like the medium body and length.

De la souplesse et une bonne suavité dans les tannins enrobés et charmeurs. Belle longueur. C’est déjà bon.

Fennel, smoke and espresso with black raspberries and red plums on the nose and palate. The medium-bodied wine is soft, silky, fresh, forward and already charming to taste. No need to wait. Just pop, pour and enjoy this on release. Drink from 2023-2035. 89-91

The 2021 Clos des Jacobins is a pretty, mid-weight Saint-Émilion. Bright red cherry fruit, cedar, spice, tobacco and blood orange lend quite a bit of energy throughout. Pretty floral top notes reappear on the finish. This is nicely done.

Ein subtiler Duft kommt aus diesem Glas, dunkle Beeren, Minze, Tabak und florale Töne, komplex und tiefgründig. Der Gaumen ist lebhaft, zeigt Schwung und Rasse, knackig in der Frucht, gute Tanninqualität, die Säure belebt, wirkt aktuell noch etwas wild, doch das dürfte sich mit weiterem Ausbau legen. Saliner Abgang. Hat gute Anlagen und viel Frische. 2027-2042 (Verkostet im April 2022. AGCCSE/Château Dassault/Dourthe)
