- Producer Notes
- Clos des Jacobins owes its name to the Benedictine preaching monks who were baptized Jacobins in reference to Saint-Jacques, patron saint of the Parisian convent of the order. The Jacobins who lived on the outskirts of the city used the buildings of the farm to welcome pilgrims on the way to Santiago de Compostela and the vineyard to produce their wine which then provided them with the bulk of their income.

2006 Vintage
Tasted: Sep 2016
The nose is fruity, elegant and relatively powerful. It reveals notes of blackberry, dried cherry and cassis combined with slight notes of undergrowth, truffle as well as slight notes of mocha and a hint of oak. The palate is fruity, gourmande, sleek, racy, relatively fat and offers an acid frame, a freshness and minerality. On the palate this wine expresses notes of cassis, blackberry and wild fruits combined with fine notes of blueberry, raspberry as well as touches of mocha, undergrowth, fine hints of chocolate, cherry and a discreet hint of olive on the finish. Tannins are fine, elegant and slightly firm. Good length and persistence.
2006 Vintage
Tasted: May 2007
Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, fast opaker Kern, violette Reflexe. In der Nase feines dunkles Beerenkonfit, Schokolade und Gewürze, noch etwas verhalten. Am Gaumen kraftvoll, stoffig, hat Muskeln, sehr saftig, Schokoanklang, sehr gut eingebundene Tannine, reich und anhaltend, Lindt-Schokolade im Nachhall, weckt große Erwartungen, sehr langer Abgang.
