2022 Clos des Jacobins Saint Emilion Grand Cru FUTURES - Pre-Arrival

Clos des Jacobins, a cornerstone of the Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé classification, is a prestigious estate that blends history with modern winemaking excellence. Owned by Thibaut and Magali Decoster, this estate traces its roots to the 1700s, though the modern era began in 2004 when the Decosters took over the iconic Clos des Jacobins. The Decosters’ commitment to quality, alongside expert guidance from renowned consultants like Hubert de Boüard of Château Angélus, has significantly raised the profile of this exceptional vineyard.

Saint-Émilion itself is one of Bordeaux’s most revered regions, known for its limestone-rich terroir and the meticulous care lavished on its Grand Cru wines. The region’s Grand Cru designation is a step above regular Saint-Émilion wines, ensuring the highest quality with stricter production standards. The Decosters have embraced these restrictions and taken them a step further, continuously improving both vineyard practices and winemaking techniques to craft wines of distinction.

The 2022 Clos des Jacobins reflects the estate’s dedication to excellence, offering a refined expression of Saint-Émilion’s unique terroir. With a history steeped in tradition and a future guided by innovation, this wine is a testament to the Decosters' vision and the timeless elegance of Saint-Émilion.
