Clos des Jacobins, Saint Emilion Grand Cru Classe, 2014

Typical St Emilion here. Rich, ripe, generous, soft. A bit like a hug from Father Christmas.

And luckily, you've been good this year.

Located at the entrance to the medieval village of Saint-Emilion, the vineyard enjoys a unique terroir due to its southern exposure and soil rich in limestone scree mixed with clay.

The vineyard, consisting of a single plot around the cellars, has been in place since the 17th century and has recently benefited from a complete renovation of its cellars and thermo-regulated wooden vats.

All the way from 2014, this is hitting its stride and absolutely perfect now.
