This is really succulent and juicy with brambleberry, wet-earth, bark and mushroom aromas and flavors. Crushed stones as well, with a slight saltiness. It’s full-to medium-bodied with creamy tannins and light chewiness at the finish. Needs time to soften, but very pretty already and typical for the vintage. A blend of 85% merlot, 10% cabernet franc and 5% petit verdot. Try after 2025.

Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

The 2019 Couvent des Jacobins, made from 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot, is deep garnet-purple in color. It prances out with pretty notes of kirsch, black raspberries, and rose oil, followed by suggestions of truffles and underbrush. The medium to full-bodied palate is soft, with energetic black and red berry layers and a mineral-laced finish.

The 2019 Couvent des Jacobins races across the palate with layers of inky dark fruit, chocolate, licorice and sweet dark spice. Opulent and dense to the core, Couvent des Jacobins is one of the more exuberant wines readers will find in Saint-Émilion. All the elements are beautifully balanced from start to finish.

The full intensity colour alone tells you that there is Petit Verdot in this wine, underlined by the black pepper spice on the attack. An excellent wine overall with great lift through the palate, and a juicy feeling to the black fruits. Good stuff. 3.76pH, 15% new oak. Organic certified. Thomas Duclos consultant.

The 2019 Couvent des Jacobins is a blend of 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot. Yields this year were 38 hectoliters per hectare. The alcohol is 14.5% and the pH is 3.76. It is being aged in French oak barrels (225 and 500 liter), 25% new, for around 12 months. Deep garnet-purple in color, the nose offers up scents of stewed plums, black cherry preserves and fruitcake with touches of potpourri, hoisin, espresso and star anise. The full-bodied palate packs in the spicy black fruit with a chewy texture and plenty of freshness, finishing on a spicy note.

The top 2019 Couvent Des Jacobins is deep ruby/purple-hued and gives up a solid perfume of spiced black cherries, mulberries, dried herbs, tobacco, and iron. It's medium-bodied on the palate, has solid tannins, good overall balance, and outstanding length. It's a solid, thoroughly enjoyable 2019 to drink over the coming 10-15 years.
