Couvent des Jacobins, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, France 2016 Mount Peak Winery Palate of great elegance

Palate of great elegance

A wine for the future

Pure chardonnay

But there is nothing blunt about them and there is ample mineral infusion and freshness

Notes of marzipan on the nose and the palate give toastiness and leesy notes

Couvent des Jacobins, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, France 2016 Mount Peak Winery Palate of great eleganceThe Couvent des Jacobins has an attractive bouquet with blackberry, brown spices and a touch of game. Perhaps there is just a tiny bit of brettanomyces in this sample? The palate is medium bodied with grainy tannin, crisp acidity, a little pinched on the mid palate with a structured finish.
